@asifansari ,

Can you share a snippet (PII Omitted ) of the API request you are seeing this response with?

I am having the same problem.

- I am able to successfully create a meeting with user\_id after retrieving from /users API. “id” field.
- I am passing that id to the signature creation.
- I am also passing to join meeting expecting if that works.

Besides all these I am still having this issue. Is that the reason , the video is frozen in embedded component view mode ?

Getting signature

```auto
 const responseFromSignatureEndpoint = await fetch(
        "http://localhost:8080/api/signature",
        {
          method: "POST",
          headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
          body: JSON.stringify({
            meetingId: meetingId,
            role: role,
            userId: userId
          }),
        }
      );

```

Joining meeting As HOST:

```auto
client.init({zoomAppRoot: meetingSDKElement, language: 'en-US'}).then(() => {
      client.join({
          signature: sign,
          sdkKey: '<my_oauth_app_client_id>',
          meetingNumber: meetingId,
          password: meetingPassword,
          //userName: user_name,
          zak: zakToken, // the host's zak token
          userName: userId,
          success: (success) => {
            console.log("============= Zoom join success",success)
          },
          error: (errorMsg) => {
            console.log("============= Zoom join Error",errorMsg)
          },
        });
      }).catch((error) => {
        console.log("============= Zoom init error", error);
      })
    };

```

Typically api/users is where we can get a list of userId and then choose one user that is needed.  
property: is “id”

```auto
{
    "page_count": 1,
    "page_number": 1,
    "page_size": 30,
    "total_records": 1,
    "next_page_token": "",
    "users": [
        {
            "id": "<userId here>",
            "first_name": "Fn",
            "last_name": "Ln",
            "display_name": "Display Name",

```

Hello everyone,  
Is there any progress on this issue?  
This is a bit strange because this only applies when joining meeting As HOST.
