We use the Zoom API to provide Zoom Meetings at Virtual Events. We provide hosts with a start_url so that they can become the host of a Zoom meeting session. We want hosts of these meetings to only start their Zoom meeting using the start_url at the time of the event they are attending.
These hosts/attendees like to get access to their Zoom Link in advance. However, if they click/use the start_url to start their session in advance, there is a chance that another event will be going on and that they can end a Zoom meeting for that event (we have a finite number of Zoom accounts, so the same accounts are used for many events), so we have to make sure to only provide access 2 hours before their scheduled event.
Describe the solution you’d like
It would be awesome if, like the attendee url, the start_url could have a setting/parameters that prevent the host from starting the meeting before the scheduled start time. This way, just like attendees cannot join a meeting before the host if the setting is enabled, that hosts could not start meetings before the scheduled time if the setting is enabled. Then, we would be able to give the hosts their start_url in advance so they do not have to worry about accessing the url right before the event and it would not be possible for them stop a host from another event from hosting their session.
Describe alternatives you’ve considered
We are currently providing access for hosts to the start_url 2 hours before, but the hosts are requesting access to the link earlier.
