I created a user using the Zoom API’s `custCreate` action as below:

{  
“action”: “create”,  
“user\_info”: {  
“email”: “[jchill@example.com](mailto:jchill@example.com)”,  
“first\_name”: “Jill”,  
“last\_name”: “Chill”,  
“display\_name”: “Jill Chill”,  
“password”: “if42!LfH@”,  
“type”: 1  
}  
}

However, when this user attempts to join a meeting via the “Join Meeting” link generated by the Zoom Outlook plugin, they cannot become the host without signing in. Am I missing something, or is there a workaround to achieve this?

Thanks.

@veer.singh for custCreate users, you will need to authenticate them using ZAK token. You can get the custCreate user’s ZAK token via the REST API
