Web SDK 1.7.4 doesn't accept non-alphanumeric passwords

Description
Passwords that contain non-alphanumeric characters such as @ fail on join with an error citing invalid password.

2. Join the meeting in the SDK 1.7.4 with that same password, it fails with “invalid password”
3. Notice this does work if you join via the native app

Web SDK 1.7.4: Cannot join meetings: "Joining meeting timeout." "The service is temporarily"

Per SDK 1.7.4, error modal title "Joining meeting timeout." message "The service is temporarily" I also have this working, but can’t use passwords that I used to be able to use because the /info endpoint doesn’t handle them due to HTML escaping.

Thanks,
Tommy

Indeed, workaround is to just use alpha-numeric passwords up to 10 chars now.

Hi @stan_b,

We are working on updating the WebSDK to accept non alpha numeric passwords in a future release. You can subscribe to our updates to get notified of when we do - https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/changelog
