Hey @sarita.joshi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. Currently, we don’t have the option to enable a participants video by default when it comes to the Web SDK this is partly due security processes implemented by most web browsers.

We cover this in a similar forum post here:

Join Audio by Computer automatically without having to click on the "Join Audio by Computer"

Hey @stephane.lux, Great question—At the moment, the only way to set the audio or video option automatically is through your Zoom app settings: (Or, from the settings object when creating a meeting via API). However, to be able to do this through the Web SDK is a great suggestion. If you’re so inclined, I’d recommend posting this in our #feature-requests channel as well. Thanks, Will

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Max
