**Description**  
We are trying to e2e test our integration with Zoom. For this we need to have a user who is logged in their Zoom account.

Is there a way to log in user (and be marked as online) either programmatically via REST API or via a web app where frameworks like selenium can be used?

Hi @ostap,

While I can appreciate how this would be helpful, I should clarify that it’s not possible to handle this programmatically. Sign in to Zoom will require a manual authorization by end users.

Thanks,  
Will
