Question about disabling password requirement when creating meetings via Zoom API

API and Webhooks
1

Hello Zoom Support Team,

I am creating meetings using the following Zoom API endpoint:

POST https://zoom.us/v2/users/{userId}/meetings

However, every meeting created through this API automatically receives a meeting password, even when I do not include the “password” field in the request body.

I would like to know:

  1. Under what conditions does Zoom automatically assign a meeting password when creating a meeting via API?
  2. Is there a way to create a meeting without a password using this API?
  3. Which specific account or user settings control whether a password is required for API‑created meetings?

I want to configure my account so that meetings created through the API do not require a password, if possible.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi @minamisono ,

Due to security problems with people joining meetings uninvited, the choice of password or waiting room was made mandatory.

So, you can schedule a meeting without a password if you enable the meeting room.

all the best
