We are planning to integrate ZOOM API with our system. For that I wanted to know if there is any API end point which I can use to let my user login automatically. Currently when my user clicks on Start meeting URL ZOOM shows the message like “If you are the meeting host, sign in to start the meeting”. If user is logged in once then it does not show this and meeting starts directly. I don’t want my user to login manually. Let me know if it is possible to make user login directly through API. I am using a JWT app. Thanks ---

Hi @shreyansh.doshi, Are you passing the `start_url` (with the `zak` parameter attached) to the host when joining the meeting? And, which client are you seeing these errors on? I’ll look into cases where this URL is not automatically authenticating. Phillip ---

Hi @Phillip I have a web application and I have put one button in it with the Zak parameter, when user clicks on it, new tab opens in browser with URL If user is already logged in zoom client and meeting start directly but if not logged in the page with message “ **If you are the meeting host, sign in to start the meeting** ” opens. Example URL I am using: > **[Video Conferencing, Web Conferencing, Webinars, Screen Sharing](https://us02web.zoom.us/s/83560892956?zak=eyJ6bV9za20iOiJ6bV9vMm0iLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.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.qMkYcoS5MoqXK7RWrep7FQk-srr5O7AMjA9Z9KIlSLg)** > > Zoom is the leader in modern enterprise video communications, with an easy, reliable cloud platform for video and audio conferencing, chat, and webinars across mobile, desktop, and room systems.

Hey @shreyansh.doshi, Make sure your [start\_url](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate) is not expired. The `start_url` of a meeting is a URL using which a host or an alternative host can start a meeting. The expiration time for the `start_url` field is two hours for all regular users. For users created using the `custCreate` option via the [Create Users](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/usercreate) API, the expiration time of the `start_url` field is 90 days. For security reasons, the recommended way to retrieve the updated value for the `start_url` field programmatically (after expiry) is by calling the [Retrieve a Meeting API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meeting) and referring to the value of the `start_url` field in the response. Thanks, Tommy ---

Hi Tommy, I facing the same issue with start\_url. I make sure my start\_url is not expired but still, it’s asking for password. Also, I generated Host User token but I can’t find document how to use that token with start\_url for start meeting without authentication. Can you please help me. I just want to start meeting without authentication but every time it’s asking for signing like above screenshot event start\_url link is not expired. ---
