I have a WinForms application on .NET and I would need to integrate a simple tool to create user meetings and get the code, just that. What would be the best and easiest way to do it?
I’ve read all the documentation but it’s not very clear to me.
Thank you very much in advance.
Hey @mribera, thanks for posting and using Zoom!
First you’d want to create a JWT App type, which allows you to generate a JWT Token to call the Create Meeting API. Sample code is also provided at the bottom of each endpoint page:
Let me know if that helps!
Thanks,
Tommy
I was able to create a meeting but I have a doubt: I had to create an App in the Marketplace and the meeting is created in my user. In order to make this possible for each of our clients to create their own meetings, each one of them will have to create an App?
Thanks!
Hey @mribera,
If you are looking to share this integration outside your Zoom account, then you can simply use an OAuth app instead and the OAuth install flow so your clients can install your integration.
Does that make sense?
Thanks,
Tommy
Hi,
It’s the same thing, isn’t it? Each client would have to create an OAuth App to get their Client ID and Client Secret.
Thanks!
Hey @mribera,
No, each client would be able to share your OAuth app by simply installing it 
Just like how you can install any of these apps with a button press: http://marketplace.zoom.us/
Please see the OAuth flow here: https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/auth/oauth
Thanks,
Tommy
Got it! Thanks.
I saw that there is a possibility to create a meeting and force the video to start, but is there any possibility to force the audio to start automatically?
Thanks!
Hey @mribera,
You can also adjust the audio settings in the settings object of the Create Meeting request body.
Thanks,
Tommy
The only audio option in the settings is to enable the audio system, and the default is “both”, so that’s not it.
Please, can you tell me some way to force the audio input to be always active? especially for mobile devices.
Thanks.
Hey @mribera,
Only users can set their default audio settings, otherwise, that would be a privacy issue.
Thanks,
Tommy
Hi Tommy,
I am calling api from c# .net core.
I am using same code as above , i got respones:200 OK , but unable to see the meetings where it is created.
Please help me .
Hey @tommy,
Is it possible in c# that create meeting should ask for zoom username and password to continue for creating a new meeting and we don’t need to create the app and don’t need to pass the API Key and API Secret. Just like the way it is happening in Android SDK It will just ask user to fill the username and password and meeting will gets created.
Please let me know if this can be achieved in c# also.
Hey @dharminder,
If you are not using the SDKs, then you will need to use OAuth, which will prompt the user for their login, and return you an access token that you can use to call the Zoom API on their behalf.
Thanks,
Tommy
Hello, im now developer
Do you have an example of C# code to create a meeting in http client request .Net? im actually triying to create one but without any good results.
Hey @jcochrane,
Checkout my post here explaining how to see the sample code for any endpoint on our docs 
Thanks,
Tommy
Hey, @tommy I’m also trying to write a c# console application that will run and create meetings but it’s not working properly.
As the meeting is created doesn’t show my Topic and instead just Zoom Meeting, Also I’m unable to set the alternate host as It does also not appear in that meeting created and also the time of the meeting is not created correctly.
here is my code:

What am I missing?
My meeting time should be at Jerusalem Time Zone, and my user’s emails exist under our organization account.
Looking forward to your reply,
Thanks,
Hagai.
Hi @hagaih,
Can you check your account settings to see if the “Use PMI” setting is enabled?
If it is, it could be overriding your requests. Let me know—thanks!
Best,
Will
@will.zoom, as far as I see it is not enabled
Hey @hagaih,
It looks like these are your user level settings. Can you confirm that it’s not enabled/locked on your account-wide settings? You may need to confirm this with your account owner or admin.
Thanks,
Will
