Web SDK Can't Join as Host

[tommy (Tommy Gaessler)]

Hey @riley,

@riley

It sounds like it would be impossible to make a website where users from different Zoom accounts use the website to create meetings and then host them from the SDK.

Correct, however the intention of the Web SDK is to join meetings. Any meeting can be joined by a user using the Web SDK, but only meetings owned by the Web SDK can be started.

@riley

If my understanding is correct, it might make more sense to use the web client than the SDK, since users from different Zoom accounts can host meetings in the web client. Does that sound right? Is using the web client url inside an iframe a supported use case we can depend on?

For your use case of wanting 3rd party users to host meetings on your site then yes, use an iFrame or have them just click the start URL to host using the Zoom Client.

@riley

In other words, is it safe to embed an iframe with url https://zoom.us/wc/${meeting.id}/join?prefer=1& or should I expect that url to change or become un-embeddable?

Yes, we have no plans to stop supporting the Zoom Web Client

Thanks,
Tommy
