Zoom WEB SDK Panelist / Host join meeting role / email detection

[tommy (Tommy Gaessler)]

Hey @developer-whova, @hassan2,

@developer-whova

I have a question, it seems if the meeting is not in the same account as the SDK, I cannot join it with the role = 1? It will return signature is invalid, on that case? Is this right now not supported?

Correct, you are only able to start meetings (use role 1) that you (the owner of the JWT App) own.

@developer-whova

Added support for starting a webinar as host.

Now, you can use role 1 when generating a signature to start a Webinar with the Web SDK.

@developer-whova

Added support for panelists

To have panelists join pass in role 0 to the signature, and the panelist email as the userEmail value. Make sure the panelist email is also added to the Webinar settings on the Zoom Web Portal.

Thanks,
Tommy
