For some reason, even though my API Key and Secret as well as ‘host\_id’ are set propertly, I keep getting back Code 1001, ‘User not exist’. What’s the cause?

Hi @mamta.dhaka, userIDs of users on your account can be found through the [List Users API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/users). If you are using OAuth, you can use `/me/` as the User ID path parameter as well.

Take a look at our [Managing Users guide](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/guides/Creating-and-Managing-Users) for more information.
