Hi,

Is it possible to have start\_url for a webinar that does not require the host to log in?  
I am aware that request to ‘webinar/get’ give us a start\_url for the meet, but that link requires the host to log in before launching the the Zoom App.  
I am asking if there could be a Host Only start\_url for a webinar,that does not require manual logging in and logs in the Host automatically ?

The start url should do just that. I just tested an it worked. Try creating a webinar, the response will have a start\_url (no need to then use get) - log out of zoom client and visit the URL, it should start the webinar as the person that was set as host (via host\_id upon creation)

FWIW, from what I can tell this no longer works. I created a separate post explaining here: [Start webinar without requiring login](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/start-webinar-without-requiring-login/9574)
