Hello everyone,

I am the developer of a PHP app.  
In this app, I want to create zoom meetings through API with users outside of my account.

I understand that I need to create a zoom application to do it.  
But I don’t want to publish this zoom application as it will only be called through my PHP app.  
I tried to add a server-to-server OAuth App but I can’t use an external account to create meetings.

I have also created a General App but until it’s published i can’t create meetings with external accounts.  
I use the v2/users/{userId}/meetings endpoint.

I am stuck.  
Can someone help me ?

Thanks,

Marion

Hi @marion.barcon , sounds like you need a private app. Please check the following link for the conditions:
