Hi I have worked with zoom API and I would like to authenticate meeting so no one can join meeting only registered user but I have some questions for that πŸ™‚ 1- does anyone have an account in a zoom that can join the meeting if he has the URL or only accounts which I registered on my account. 2- does each account I created will have a separate account with a dashboard as apart of my plan or free dashboard. 3-how can I invite-only some member of register account for meeting not all for example 10 out of 50 and so on 4- can I asked them to login with a username not email in case of join meeting 5- can the user login only from the web, not desktop and login for only not log in from multi-device for the same meeting I use zoom API thanks in advance ---

Hi @almeeqyas 1. [Meeting Registration](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/211579443-Registration-for-Meetings) can be set up to prevent someone from joining a meeting unless they are registered for the meeting. When [Creating a Meeting](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate) via API, set `approval_type` to `0` or `1` to require registration. 2. When you add a user onto the account, they will be available to be managed by an account Admin 3. Meeting registration can be used to invite specific attendees and prevent anyone who is not registered from attending. 4. User login is managed by email or Single-Sign On, not username 5. Users can be restricted through login if you are the identity provider, but it may be difficult to prevent login from specific devices ---

You are welcome! πŸ™‚ You can limit the number of devices joining with a specific url here: > [@Why the join\_url of a Meeting Registrant can be used many times at the same time?](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/why-the-join-url-of-a-meeting-registrant-can-be-used-many-times-at-the-same-time/18004): > > When someone’s registration has been approved a unique join\_url for this registrant is created. This join\_url can be used for many people to get into the meeting. For example, if Jhon Doe has registered for Meeting A for May 20th @ 8pm and Jhon shares his the join\_url with 3 friends, they can join into the meeting and there will be 4 Jhon Doe in the meeting as participants. Why is this happening? Do you have any more questions? Thanks, Tommy
