Zoom Meeting Create
Ingelore Clason
Zoom is a cloud-based platform for video and audio conferencing, mobile collaboration, and simple online meetings. Zoom's web-based conferencing uses high-quality video and audio and is accessible on MacOS, Windows, iOS and Android mobile devices. Anyone in the world can join a Zoom meeting, but only a host can start/create meetings.
I can't create any meetings since the newest update. Today (July 11, 2023), I logged in and once again the format has changed. With this newest format, I am trying to schedule the meetings for my piano students the same way that I normally would with the date, time and length of the lesson. I tried with a personal password and with the Zoom-generated password, and it won't let me do the meeting either way. I email the links separately from my email as I sometimes have attachments or messages to send to the student/parents. I keep getting an Error message with a number when it tries to save the lesson. It's very frustrating because the lessons are for tomorrow! I wish they would stop trying to change things and just leave them alone!
That aside, I've updated one of my Windows computers to Zoom 5.15.3, and while it's definitely different, it still works - I've scheduled a meeting successfully. What part of the process doesn't work on your computer? If possible, can you give me a screen shot of any error or something different you can't get past? I'll do what I can to help.
This is such a backwards change Zoom did. I tutor on Zoom, and I usually send the copied links to the parents and only today did I see the strangely unproductive changes including not being able to see my list of students I'd scheduled on Zoom all on one page. Instead, I have to toggle to find each one per day, and the times are not listed, my title I'd made with my name and my student's name is gone--what a major mistake for this company! At least, that's my humble opinion as someone who was willing to start paying for Zoom once they shrunk the time for free membership to 40 minutes with one other person. All of this is definitely not intended to help their members.
Hi All
I am using zoom to create meetings on the backend and join meetings on the frontend.
The frontend sample worked great to join a meeting I created using the zoom dashboard, now I need to create a meeting using nodejs backend.
Hey Thank you for reply,
I wanted to ask is there anyway to create a api key and secret key for on organization so that I can use the same api key and secret key for all users of that organization to create meeting link using node js backend.
Has anyone experienced this issue? I can no longer send a Zoom link through my Hubspot account. I recently changed myemail address and believe it's tied to that but I can't figure out how to fix it. When I try to create the link I get the error message below"
I'd recommend checking the Zoom account link settings as described here. Changing your email address might indeed have thrown Zoom off. You might see an error or notice in the settings. If not, I'd try disconnecting and reconnecting the integration. (In that case, make sure that there aren't any other users who are currently relying on it.)
This has never been a problem before May, 2022. I rebooted and restarted everything. I made sure my zoom account was paid up. I reinstalled the zoom integration in Hubspot, to no avail. There has been no change to my email address. Please stop guessing and find the real answer to this.
If you followed the steps sent by @karstenkoehler and you've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling zoom, I would recommend connecting with HubSpot Technical Support, as Support is included in your subscription and they will be able to provide real-time assistance for this matter, where you are able to share screenshots and further information about this.
Just this week, I was presented with a challenge of creating a Zoom link upon request from a mentor app. The client wanted an option such that when a mentor/mentee clicks a button inside the app and presents information about a Zoom meeting they want to create, they will have a direct link to the Zoom room with submitted details.
Having the chance to work with clients from different industries opens up the ability to be creative. I was a bit stagnated inside my own box in the first few months with Glide because I can only do apps within my own knowledge.
I am trying to create a single meeting per class through zoom when someone books a class. The option doesn't seem to be available to me? The first picture is my screen and the second picture is what I am looking for. How do I get this option?
This option only appears when you create group classes. You can then book multiple clients into one appointment with a single Zoom call. For more information, see Using group classes in Scheduling.
Ok, so I had created an app a few months back in which it helped me embed a Zoom meeting on the web app and have users be able to join. Initially, we were using JWT, but it seems the it will be deprecated next year, so I would like to begin the transition. So, just a bit of what I want to achieve:
I had this working before, but with JWT. I know that the sample codes use the SDK, but will it be possible to see a sample using server-to-server OAuth instead? Seems like that is the closest one to how the JWT was working.
Thank you for posting on the Developer Forum. Great, question! The server-to-server OAuth is the JWT app replacement. So, yes, it is possible to achieve that workflow. Similar to JWT, the Server-to-Server OAuth app type does not require an end-user authorization step as well as the redirect URL and refresh token. More details on this topic can be found below:
Alternatively, you can create and publish an OAuth of 2.0 app which requires a user to authorize your app. With OAuth 2.0 you can make your publicly available by publishing your App in Zoom Marketplace. Once your App is published on the Marketplace, you can create and join a meeting for any user that authorized your App.
Thank you so much for that info! So, how can I use the OAuth to replace the JWT? Would it still be the same exact way? What I mean by that, when creating the signature and such, do I have to make any specific changes? Mind you, what I want to achieve, is be able for any user to join a Zoom meeting via the web. Ofc, I am setting restrictions(such as limit of participants and such that a host can put), but ultimately, use Zoom Web SDK.
@rmjuarez12 , OAuth would be leveraged to grant your app access to Zoom resources. So, for example, with meeting read and write scopes, your app can create meetings for any user that installs your Marketplace app. To generate the signature, you would use the app type of SDK. So the only thing you would need to switch out in this regard is your JWT for SDK Client ID and Secret.
In here, the apiKey, meetingNumber are from the user initiating the meeting(host), while the username and useremail is from the user joining. Based on the code above, what changes do I need to make to adjust and use the workflow I mentioned a few messages back.
Thanks for the tag! If you are looking to authenticate the Meeting SDK, then you will need to use the credentials from the meeting SDK Marketplace app. I should note the SDK generates credentials for OAuth and SDK. To learn more, see support documentation below:
Wanted to chime in and say that I observe the exact same situation reported by @markl: I create a new meeting with approval type set to manual but this value seems to be ignored by the API. Here is the payload I send to the API:
@desautelsj, are you still facing the same issue? I did create a new meeting with the JSON body provided by you, and the approval type in the response was the same as the one in the original request (i.e. 1).
Ok, Let me clear you first.When you make a meeting create request, the created_at response show date-time in UTC format of current date-time.And look at this "start_time": "2020-11-16T11:00:00Z" once again. It's already set as you mentioned in your API request parameter which is
Hope topic name will not change. And it's better to add another parameter name type which defines what type of meeting you want to create (There are 4 types). As reference you can check out Zoom's API documentation from -reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate
You will be taken to your Zoom profile page. From the menu on the left, you can schedule meetings, view your meeting recordings, and update your Zoom profile. You can access these features in the future by going to and selecting Log in.
When you create a Zoom account, you're automatically assigned a Personal Meeting ID. If you wish, you can edit this to a number you'll find easy to remember, such as your phone number. You can also use a Personal Link (that is, a URL incorporating a meaningful word or phrase, sometimes called a vanity URL), but some functionality may be unavailable. For example, some videoconferencing equipment requires that meeting attendees enter a string of numbers rather than letters, and Zoom's Canvas integration will not work with a Personal Link.
Note that if Zoombombing is a concern, it may be more secure to use an automatically generated meeting ID rather than a customized one. For more about Zoom security, see Prevent Zoombombing using Zoom privacy and security features.
Standard Zoom meetings support up to 300 simultaneous participants. Licenses for large meetings (up to 500 participants) and webinars in two sizes (up to 1,000 or 3,000 participants) are available to faculty and staff; to request a license, email UITS Videoconferencing Support.
