Hey @bansal.ankit1985,

Your app should be public on the Marketplace. In order to have Zoom users external to your Zoom account install the app, it must be published to the Zoom App Marketplace.

See my post here about limiting who has access to it while published:

OAuth integration without publishing app to marketplace

Hey @navatech, The only way to share your Zoom OAuth app outside your Zoom account is to publish it. That being said, you could use the “visit site to install” option (which hides the install url from the public): [Screen Shot 2020-04-06 at 3.26.47 PM] Or, after a user installs your app, you can do a check on the account_id and compare that with your whitelist of companies who are allowed to install your app. Thanks, Tommy

Thanks,
Tommy
