Hey @aaghili, Let me know if this helps: > [@Receiving error "You cannot authorize the app"](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/receiving-error-you-cannot-authorize-the-app/22707/7): > > Hey @pb_zoom, @josharcher, Our engineering team is aware of the issue and investigating this.

Do you know if it’s possible to modify it? What does it need to look like? Currently our URL encoded state parameter looks like this. state=%7B%22oauth\_id%22:%222%22,%22client\_id%22:%CLIENTID%22%7B ---
