I am integrating [https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings](https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings) for my web application to generate a meeting link but I’m getting this error

Unable to install this app without the developer’s account. Please contact the app developer to install.

hello, @donte.zoom  
my main target to create zoom meetings via [https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings](https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings) API.  
for this, i created a flow where first i use oauth2 verification and generate a token and use this same token for calling meeting api. but on oauth2 login i am getting this  
**Unable to install this app without the developer’s account. Please contact the app developer to install it.** error.but login with the developer account its working fine  
and one more point i haven’t publish my web application yet i just want to test it for a public domain account

@manish1 ,

Have you considered using sever to server OAuth for your test workflow ? It does not require the login step

yes its required bearer token for authentication.  
my first step is to generate zoom oauth token (refresh,access) ([https://zoom.us/oauth/token](https://zoom.us/oauth/token))and use this token for call zoom meeting API ([https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings](https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings)).  
this flow working when i am using developer account but it’s not working with public zoom account.

@manish1,

In order to install an [OAuth app](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/getting-started/app-types/create-oauth-app) outside the developers Zoom account, it must be [published to the Zoom App Marketplace](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/app-lifecycle-management/submitting-an-app). If you are looking to distribute a private app, you can use the Publishable URL to direct **users on your account** to install your app. See support documentation below for more details :
