Our LMS solution currently has Zoom integrated via the API for starting meetings. The join\_url is pushed out to students so they can join the meeting from within our application. Due to security, one of our clients will be enabling authenticated users only and from a specific domain only. In my testing, this means when the student clicks the join\_url they will first get the prompt to sign-in to Zoom before they can join the meeting. Is there a way to use an API to pre-authenticate the users and not require that step? Do we need to be running the get user settings on all the students? ---

Hey @landon.isaacs Thanks for posting on the Zoom Devforum! I am still learning, but I will try my best to help answer your question. 🙂 Checkout this related thread that may have the answer you are looking for: > [@How authenticate a zoom account?](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/-/305): > > Hi Dev,      I need to authenticate a zoom account in my web app, may I know how to do it? Is it OAuth(redirect to some zoom authentication URL) or API key and secret ? If OAuth then what URL to hit? If API key and secret then what URL to hit from which I’ll know that account is a valid zoom account.  Thanks Priyank If this thread did not help, please let us know by replying back here and someone from the Developer Relations team will get back to you shortly. Thanks, DeveloperBot ---
