Zoom OAuth + JWT Issues

Hi @m.warble,

Thank you for wording your workflow so precisely, and I understand the issue you’re running into here.

You’ve raised a similar concern to this thread, which you might find helpful for how best to handle this:

That said, I realize this is not ideal, and do appreciate the issue this causes for your integration. I will be sure to raise this feedback with our team.

Thanks,
Will
