Hey Guys,

I am new to Zoom Dev. Is there a way we can validate zoom meeting before it starts using the meeting ID and password? I am able to do this with Server to Server QAuth app, for meetings that are created in my tenant.

But how I do this for other meetings, where host is external to my organization/tenant? I need to validate 50-60 external meetings per day and keep it ready for our folks to join in.

Thanks,

Hey @brpanda23 ,

What do you mean by “validate”, what are you trying to validate?

Thanks!

If those external meeting details are correct or not, to avoid last minute troubleshooting. Sometime users copy paste from invite to integrate with other meeting solutions like Cisco telepresence etc. So we validate meeting existence beforehand and set them up.
