The “join” method needs username and password values. Does it mean that all participants of my app have to create an account on zoom?

If we have to create the user accounts, I do not see anything in the web video sdk for creating users. We can have multiple meetings running with multiple participants and the number of participants or meetings is not fixed. Can I create and destroy user accounts on a per meeting basis?

Thank you.

Hey @sri.soham

It’s unnecessary to create accounts per session. The username is just the display name in the session and the password is the session passcode.

Thanks
