I reciently started receiving a 6601 error meaning my SDK app is unable to join public meetings using the SDK token it generates. Since this previously worked just fine and it now receiving the 6601, I’m assumig this is from the deactivation of the JWT apps.
Point being, we have developed an app that uses the Zoom SDK to connect to public meetings and that functionality has now been restricted.
How is it possible to use the SDK to join a public meeting? Do I really need to publish to Zoom Marketplace the private app to gain authorization to join public meetings?
Where is the public announcement by Zoom that SDK Apps (NOT JDK Apps) will no longer have access to public meetings without publication to the Zoom Marketplace?
So should I start builing a Hello World Zoom Marketplace app to get the key/secret I need to join public meetings from my SDK App?
Correct, the error you’re facing with the Meeting SDK is because the Meeting SDK App Type is not published.
If you’re trying to join or start a meeting from a different account than the one where the Meeting SDK App Type was created, you’ll need to publish your Meeting SDK App Type.
However, there is no need to worry. If the meeting is within the same account, you can still join or start it, even if the Meeting SDK App Type is unpublished. However, if the meeting is in a different account, you will need to submit your Meeting SDK app to the Marketplace and make it available for others, so that you can use the credentials for other accounts as well.
Here is our documentation for Zoom SDK App Requirements
I am creating an Android App that uses the Zoom SDK to join public meetings. This app will never be published as a Zoom Marketplace app, how can it possibly be?
How is is possible to create an external 3rd party app that uses the SDK to join public Zoom meetings?
So I just read this page again which is what I’ve been working from for months now
and there is absolutely no mention of not being able to connect to public meetings using the SDK. That page says very little at all about Zoom Marketplace apps at all, let alone that being a new requirement. Where is this new situation documented?
I want to be clear. I am creating a native Android app that uses the Zoom SDK to join public meetings. This app is using SDK key/secret to generate server side tokens to join meetings and not Zoom OAuth. This is NOT a Zoom App, this is a private native app that uses the Zoom SDK. This has been working fine up till a week ago.
I hear you telling me that I need to submit my Android app to Zoom for review and then they are going to publish it on the Zoom Marketplace for use by anybody that wants to. Really?
Ok, thank you. So it would seem using SDK to join 3rd party meetings used to work and does not now pending the evaluation of the use-cases for SDK to join 3rd party meetings.
Thank you for providing the piece of information I’ve been searching for. Do you have any more information on this evaluation process? How long it will take and if we can submit a use-case to help justity its reinstatement?
I’ve been developing with the Zoom SDK now for nearly 2 years and have buit a business around its use. I’ve never seen a single shred of evidence that ever indicated the SDK could not be used to join 3rd party meetings - and the fact that it worked just fine the past 2 years means this was the original intention of Zoom - that the SDK be used to join 3rd party meeting. This has abruptly changed.
I am requesting any and all documentation by Zoom on this change in the use of the SDK. Thank you for your help.
The link which Donte shared has details on that, it is a single paragraph. There was additional details sent via email to developers on a deadline (varies across different individuals) on this.
Do submit it and let me know, we can try to push and follow up from our side
Hi guys, sorry probably thats already discussed. We are startup and we need to demo our Zoom bot to external users (investors etc). This is not production ready product. This is very early stage prototype.
What we need is possibility join externally created meetings with Web SDK because often accelerators and potential customers willing to create meeting using their accounts. We dont need any API access etc. Do we really need to implement API Oath redirection endpoint? It require for submission app for review.
No any other way to whitelist for example some accounts\users who create external meetings temporary to let SDK join these meetings?
Do we really need to go through whole review process with not production ready product just to join external meetings with WebSDK? @chunsiong.zoom

In the new unified build flow, you can leave the scope as empty. Even if you do not need to access API, you will still need to go thru submission / review process for external meeting join.

No. However, you can join internally created meeting without submission / review.

If your app needs to join external meeting, then review and approval is necessary.
We have Build App option and Build Legacy App option. I chose Build App and scope present there as mandatory
Sorry, I can’t embed screenshots for some reason so just copy mandarory fields from my page
App Submission
Once you submit your app, Zoom will conduct a functional and security review of your app. Upon a successful review, your app will be available to publish to the Zoom App Marketplace. You can specify a preferred date to publish your app in the review notes.
