Pre Register Participants and block any non registered participant from entering meeting

API and Webhooks
1

Description
When creating meetings through the API, is there anyway for registering users to the meeting before when the meeting is created? And if I try to join from another account which is not the same as the registered user, the user should not be able to login with the non registered account.

I tried adding registrants, it worked but when I tried joining a meeting with a non-registrant it still permitted.

Hi @david7, when you create a meeting using the API, in the settings object set registration_type to 2 to require registration for the occurrence, and set approval_type to 0 or 1 to require approval (automatic or manual).

Hi Michael, Thanks for the reply, I am passing the same parameters in my API and that is working well.

But I want to add the participants to the meeting, and only those participants need to be accepted into the meeting, blocking all unregistered users to join the meeting.

I registered a user and he could view the meeting. But I also tried with another account which I haven’t registered, and it still let me join the meeting.

Basically, I want to prevent Zoombombing, as the term many are referring to.

Hey @david7,

Did you have the registration set to automatically approve?

You can also whitelist certain email domains to increase meeting secuirty:

Hi Tommy,

Yes, the meetings/webinars have auto approval, but I don’t want anyone to try accessing it with a link, just a select few that have subscribed on my website. Also the whitelisting, how can it be handled in the API?

Thanks

Hey @david7 use the Update Account Settings API to set up authentication profiles through the the API.

Hi Michael,

are these the options I need to enable for it?

"enforce_login": "boolean",
"enforce_login_with_domains": "boolean",
"enforce_login_domains": "string",

Hey @david7,

Yep! Those are the authentication profile options! :slight_smile:

Thanks,
Tommy

Awesome, how do I add the domains in the API? or can they be added in the settings of zoom profile?

Hey @david7,

You can add them at the meeting, user settings, or account level settings with the API.
