My company is adding video chat functionality to our application by integrating with Zoom. Whenever a user wants to video chat, we custCreate a Zoom user for them (if it does not exist), then create a meeting.

Since custCreate accounts do not support email login, is there any issue with setting a dummy email as follows?

zoomuser+\<company\_user\_id\>@mydomain.com

The email doesn’t actually belong to the user. But given they cannot use email to login anyway, that seems fine?

Hey @peterzoom

That seems perfectly reasonable, are you going to delete these users at some point? Or keep them for other use?

In either case, it’s okay to use dummy emails with custCreate.

Let us know if you have any questions!

As long as the user exists in our system, we will keep them. Thanks!
