@dwisartika346, Can you share your meeting ID and are you testing locally or within a deployed website that you can share? @laevents - Are you using the sample web app or npm? Can you share the meeting ID, screenshot of what displays in the console log, and the /info?callback=localJsonpCallback within the network tab? ---

@tommy In reading the release notes, it appears the registration option pops up the actual registration form? We were hoping we could join a pre-registered meeting. Our use case that is behind the scenes, when a user adds an event to their schedule, we use the Zoom API to register them for the webinar. We then want to use the unique join URL with the Web SDK for tracking purposes and to prevent sharing that occurs when just using passwords. Would this now be possible with the registration changes you made and if so how? Thanks, Mike ---

Hi @mb_j We understand your use case. Right the the WebSDK does not support joining a webinar using the join\_url from the [Add Webinar Register API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/webinars/webinarregistrantcreate). However, we will support that in a future release. The best workaround would be to still generate a unique url for the user with the email and pass in the email to the WebSDK so that they can join the Webinar as that user. Let us know if that works for you or not. Thanks ---

Hello @michael_p.zoom - I did managed to resolve the “typeerror : cannot read property 0 of null” issue. But now I am facing another issue, participant not able to hear the host audio. Can you please let me know what could be an issue. Webinar ID is \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Also in our application we want to load the live streaming in the middle of web page and not into separate window or tab. So can you please let me know how we can do this ? Thanks \*This post has been edited to remove any meeting / webinar IDs ---

@michael_p.zoom Still not possible to start a meeting as host? In our service, we create meetings for people. Then we want them to start the meeting with role 1. Apparently, they have to start the meeting outside of our service, and we need to use role 0. That is not ideal at all ---

We’re excited about the new version. FWIW the ability to do this was the single most important thing we _assumed_ was meant by “Added support for joining a registered webinar.” Here’s hoping full support for webinar registrations is added in the near future. ---

Hi, I wanted to know if we are organising a quiz on zoom, where we need private input from the participants so that the input is securely recorder in some database corresponding to the name of the participant. Is there any piece of code for that which can work on that. ---

@tommy As others have pointed out the audio quality has degraded pretty significantly on 1.8.0. I think there is another issue in general, when I rolled back to 1.7.10 I was able to observe audio stutter which was not there in the past. This is specially true for people using surface tablet on Windows or Macbook Air. Regards Nitin ---
