What exactly does “Anonymous Join Exception” do when it is granted? Is there any documentation regarding this? The Learn More does not address this exception directly, please help clear this up for me. Thank you.

Does Zoom Support monitor these questions? It’s simply a documentation question and deserves an answer from Support.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out.

We recently enforced a requirement for Meeting SDK apps to use OBF or ZAK tokens when joining external meetings — more details here: [Transitioning to On Behalf Of (OBF) tokens in Meeting SDK apps - Zoom Developer Blog](https://developers.zoom.us/blog/transition-to-obf-token-meetingsdk-apps/)

If your use case cannot support implementing OAuth to obtain these tokens, an exception may be available — but whether it applies depends on your specific situation and reasoning. To have it evaluated, please submit your app with the “Request Anonymous Join Exception” toggle enabled under Features \> Embed \> Meeting SDK, and include a clear explanation of your use case in the provided text field.

Our team will review the request from there.

Best regards,
