Zoom Meeting SDK Auth Endpoint sample

Use of this sample app is subject to our Terms of Use.

---

NOTE: This sample app has been updated to use Meeting SDK app type credentials instead of JWT app type type credentials.

---

This is a Node.js / Express server that generates a Meeting SDK JWT via an http request for authorized use of the Zoom Meeting SDK.

If you would like to skip these steps and just deploy the finished code to Heroku, click the Deploy to Heroku button. (You will still need to configure a few simple things, so skip to Deployment.)

Installation

In terminal, run the following command to clone the repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/zoom/meetingsdk-auth-endpoint-sample.git

Setup

1. In terminal, cd into the cloned repo:

   $ cd meetingsdk-auth-endpoint-sample

2. Then install the dependencies:

   $ npm install

3. Create an environment file to store your Meeting SDK credentials:

   $ touch .env

4. Add the following code to the .env file, and insert your Zoom Meeting SDK credentials:

   ZOOM_MEETING_SDK_KEY=MEETING_SDK_KEY_HERE
   ZOOM_MEETING_SDK_SECRET=MEETING_SDK_SECRET_HERE
   

5. Save and close .env.

6. Start the server:

   $ npm run start

Usage

Make a POST request to http://localhost:4000 (or your deployed url) with the following request body:

Key	Value Description
meetingNumber	Required, the Zoom Meeting or Webinar Number.
role	Required, 0 to specify participant, 1 to specify host.

Example Request

POST http://localhost:4000

Request Body:

{
  "meetingNumber": "123456789",
  "role": 0
}

If successful, the response body will be a JSON representation of your Meeting SDK JWT:

{
  "signature": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzZGtLZXkiOiJhYmMxMjMiLCJtbiI6IjEyMzQ1Njc4OSIsInJvbGUiOjAsImlhdCI6MTY0NjkzNzU1MywiZXhwIjoxNjQ2OTQ0NzUzLCJhcHBLZXkiOiJhYmMxMjMiLCJ0b2tlbkV4cCI6MTY0Njk0NDc1M30.UcWxbWY-y22wFarBBc9i3lGQuZAsuUpl8GRR8wUah2M"
}

In the Meeting SDK, pass in the signature to the join() function:

// Make http request to your auth endpoint to get the Meeting SDK JWT

// Meeting SDK - web - Client View - example:
ZoomMtg.join({
  signature: signature,
  sdkKey: sdkKey,
  userName: userName,
  meetingNumber: meetingNumber,
  passWord: password
})

// Meeting SDK - web - Component View - example:
client.join({
  signature: signature,
  sdkKey: sdkKey,
  userName: userName,
  meetingNumber: meetingNumber,
  password: password
})

Deployment

Heroku (button)

1. After clicking the "Deploy to Heroku" button, enter a name for your app (or leave it blank to have a name generated for you), and insert your Zoom Meeting SDK credentials:

   • ZOOM_MEETING_SDK_KEY (Your Zoom Meeting SDK Key or Client ID for Meeting SDK app type's created after February 11, 2023, found on your Zoom Meeting SDK App Credentials page)
   • ZOOM_MEETING_SDK_SECRET (Your Zoom Meeting SDK Secret or Client Secret for Meeting SDK app type's created after February 11, 2023, found on your Zoom Meeting SDK App Credentials page)

2. Then click "Deploy App".

3. Use your Heroku URL as your Meeting SDK Auth Endpoint.

   Example: https://abc123.herokuapp.com/

Heroku (CLI)

1. If you cloned this repo, you may use the Heroku CLI to deploy your server. Remember to set your config vars (envoirnment variables).

2. Use your Heroku URL as your Meeting SDK Auth Endpoint.

   Example: https://abc123.herokuapp.com/

Other Server Hosting

1. For Other Server Hosting information, see this tutorial.

2. Use your deployed URL as your Meeting SDK Auth Endpoint.

   Example: https://abc123.compute-1.amazonaws.com/

Now you can generate your Meeting SDK JWT.
