Hi @tommy,

We are also facing the same issue. We were able to join the meeting as host (role=1). But when we try to join the same session with attendee (role=0), we are facing the issue. We have verified the suggestions given in this thread (no whitespaces allowed in the username, role should be integer 0 while generating signature).

Meeting ID: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

Hey @vikas.pulluri,

Make sure your meeting does not require registration. Currently registration is not supported on the Web SDK.

Thanks,  
Tommy

Hi,

I am using the JWT app API key and secret in my index.js file and also using the meeting ID of a started meeting, still on joining the meeting with the sample web sdk app, getting “Fail to join the meeting.” message. Can someone guide as to what I am missing?

I encountered the same issue just now.  
I have a master account of zoom which I subscribed the Pro & Webinar plan.  
I also have sub account.  
I created JWT app and get the api key with my master account.  
Then I created sub account and give admin access to sub account.  
I login by sub account and create the webinar and start it.  
After that, this “joining fail” issue appears.

But after I use the master account ,and create another webinar, and tried. That worked properly.

I think we must always use one single account that has subscription as admin, generate the api key, and create the webinar.

Hey @actioport,

I am happy to look into this further for you if you provide me a [Web SDK signature](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/web/build/signature) to [developersupport@zoom.us](mailto:developersupport@zoom.us) for a test meeting. 🙂

Thanks,  
Tommy
