Is it possible to somehow use the start_url returned from he create webinar endpoint to start a webinar without requiring the user to login?

We have seen that the join_url can be adapted to the following form to allow registrants to join without login or needing to fill out any forms:

But the form of the start_url that is returned is different and doesn’t seem to allow this (though this message suggests its possible but this seems to have changed. The start_url is different; it doesn’t include a tk or uuid but includes Zak:

We want to allow any user who has been provided the start_url to start the webinar without needing to login.

Thank you!

Actually I see that login is not required when a Zoom native client is used but it does NOT work via the web client.

Hey @flippyhead,

Correct. Any start_url works without being logged in if the zak token is not expired, it will open the Zoom app and start the webinar/meeting. However, it will not work if you are trying to embed it in an iFrame.

Thanks,
