I’m not sure if this already exists (if it does, I can’t seem to find it) but I was wondering if we could have an API that allows us to add a webhook for when my account joins a meeting. I’d like to use that webhook to perform other actions whenever I join a zoom meeting.

Hi Clement,&nbsp;

We do have a API to create a webhooks here -&nbsp;[https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/webhooks/webhookcreate](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/webhooks/webhookcreate). You can use the&nbsp;**Participant/Host joined meeting (participant\_joined)** [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/zoom-app-marketplace/webhooks/webhook-event-schemas/meeting-events](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/zoom-app-marketplace/webhooks/webhook-event-schemas/meeting-events) for when a account joins a meeting.&nbsp;

@michael_p.zoom it seems like that webhook only fires an event when a Participant/Host joins a meeting that the authed user owns. Is it possible to fire the event when the authed user joins someone else’s meeting?

Hi @tcigrand,

Currently, it can only send Participant/Host joins notifications to users that owns the meeting at this time.

Thanks
