Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?

Hi @roeycohen,

Can you confirm that the user belongs to the same account and meets the preequisites outlined here for alternative hosts?

Thanks,
Will

Hi @will.zoom,

maybe… i’m not sure :slight_smile: I’ll check.

Is there a reference for every error that might be returned for the Zoom API?

Hi @roeycohen,

Unfortunately we don’t have a reference for all possible Zoom errors, though it’s a great suggestion. Let me know if you’ve had a chance to confirm this other info.

Thanks!
Will
