**Description**  
I am trying to start a webinar created from the API.

I am passing the role as 1 because I am the host and want to start a webinar. In your 1.7.2 SDK, it always says “Another meeting is going” but when I update to 1.7.4 SDK it is saying “Not allow to start webinar from the web.” Can you please look into this matter? I have attached the screenshot of the console.

**Error**

1. method: “join”
2. status: false
3. result: null
4. errorMessage: “Not allow to start webinar from web.”
5. errorCode: 3609

**Which version?**  
SDK 1.7.4

**Screenshots**

Hi @vrdays,

Right now the WebSDK does not support hosting webinars. We are working on releasing a new version 1.8.0 in the near future to support this - [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/getting-started/stay-up-to-date/upcoming-changes/web-sdk](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/getting-started/stay-up-to-date/upcoming-changes/web-sdk)

Thanks
