Start a meeting on behalf of a user - Web SDK with OAuth

Hey @mayank.patel,

We discourage asking customers to share their JWT Credentials with developers.

I do see the headache here how you can’t use OAuth to start meetings for a user via the Web SDK since the Web SDK can only start meetings owned by the same account as the JWT App.

I will share this feedback with our team and see if we can expand the Web SDK authentication to allow authorized users to start their own meetings. (CS-2206)


In the meantime, I suggest having the host of the meeting start the meeting via the start_url and Zoom App, and then have the other participants join via the Web SDK.

Because currently you can join meetings with the Web SDK, but you can only start meetings owned by the Web SDK owner.

Thanks,
Tommy
