Starting a meeting

Description
I want to clarify how to start a meeting using the Zoom SDK for Windows (C#)
A ===================
Reference to Documentation : NATIVE SDKS / Windows / Mastering Zoom SDK / 2. Windows SDK Functions / 4.3 Start Meeting for API User:
(1) Why is it “API Users” and not “SDK User” ?
(2) Where do I get the “UserID” and the “UserName” ? (are there any aka’s like email address, account #, etc. ?)
(3) Is the UserToken the one obtained from the JWT credentials page? (using the API Key and Secret)

B==================================
Reference to Documentation : NATIVE SDKS / Windows / Mastering Zoom SDK / 2. Windows SDK Functions / 4.4 Start Meeting for End-User:
What is a End-User in this case ? May I use this method to start a meeting ?
Thank you
Frank

Hi Frank,

Thanks for the post. Regarding your questions:
A ===================
1). We provide 3 different ways of authentication, login using email/password, login using SSO token, and the 3rd one is using the token that is retrieved from Zoom API to be able to host a meeting, that is the reason why it is called “API user”. You may find more information here:
2). User ID would be your email address, the UserName is the display name you would to show in the meeting(You can put anything)
3). The userToken is the zoom token you could retrieve from https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/usertoken, and ZAK is the zoom access token that you could get from the same API. You may get more detail here:https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/credentials
B==================================
1). You could ignore the “End”, it is referring to the user. You could use the methods to start a meeting.

The C# wrapper is a wrapper that calls the interfaces in Windows SDK, so you may refer to the implementation of the Windows SDK demo app(https://github.com/zoom/zoom-sdk-windows/tree/master/demo/sdk_demo_v2) for the actual development of each case.

Hope this helps. Thanks!

Hi Carson
Thank you for the clarifications. Very helpful.
I should get back on Zoom SDK/API in the next few days and I will let you know how it goes.
