Hi Zoom Team,

I’m trying to use the Zoom API to create meetings and retrieve participant information. I’m wondering if I need a Zoom Pro account to access these features. If so, are there any limitations for free accounts?

I think that in the past this was limited to zoom pro and above?

Any guidance or documentation you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,  
Ram
