Is there any possible way to restrict the participants like they should be a authorised persons and they should have a unique link to join at the same time they must allow to join only via one device. And we like to use zoom API

Hey @Rajinthan17,

Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. If you want to make sure that only authenticated users are able to join your meeting with a unique join URL you will want to enable meeting\_authentication and require registration when using the [Create a Meeting API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate).

**Meeting Authentication**

Once you have meeting registration enabled, participants will be sent a confirmation email containing a unique join URL when they are approved.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂

Hey @Rajinthan17,

We don’t have any APIs to kick participants from a meeting right now. If you would like this feature to be considered for a future release, I recommend posting in the #feature-requests category.

Thanks,  
Max
