How To Reproduce (If applicable)

<?php

$api_key = '8CTcTLrpQr-J_9P6xtiJDg';
$api_secret = 'XYZ';
$meeting_number = 86764390572;

$signature = generate_signature($api_key, $api_secret, $meeting_number, 0);

function generate_signature ( $api_key, $api_secret, $meeting_number, $role){
  //Set the timezone to UTC
  date_default_timezone_set("UTC");
  $time = time() * 1000 - 30000;//time in milliseconds (or close enough)
  $data = base64_encode($api_key . $meeting_number . $time . $role);
  $hash = hash_hmac('sha256', $data, $api_secret, true);
  $_sig = $api_key . "." . $meeting_number . "." . $time . "." . $role . "." . base64_encode($hash);
  return rtrim(strtr(base64_encode($_sig), '+/', '-_'), '=');
}

Greeting, @stahl,

Welcome to the Developer Forum and thank you for posting. Can verify that you are using your API Key and Secret from your JWT App for your credentials. Also, you want to make sure that your server is using a UTC timezone when generating the signature. You reference our documentation for instructions on how to generate the Web SDK signature as well:

You can also reference the Signature Generator Sample app to compare a working signature with yours:

Let me know if this helps.

Best,
Donte
