I am building a zoom bot using meeting zoom linux sdk. I am using clone of zoom linux sdk example for my setup.
I am now trying to add my bot to a meeting which requires authentication to join.
I am fetching zoom meeting join token from
" https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings/<meeting_id>/jointoken/local_recording" endpoint for the meeting and then adding the token value as “join-token” in config.toml in the sdk.
When I run the sdk contianer it throws error “failed to connect to the meeting with MeetingFailCode 500”
How to resolve this error and what I’m doing wrong here.?
Following is my config.toml
client-id="<my client id>"
client-secret="<my client secret>"
join-url="https://zoom.us/j/91778212138"
meeting-id=="91778212138"
join-token="lrmrl5wqu"
password="706112"
display-name="Albins Bot"
[RawAudio]
file="meeting-recording.pcm"
separate-participants=true
The config.toml is updated at run time so there is no chance of the token getting expired.
Hello @albin
I took a look and can’t find the reference to the error in the template you shared. I did find it in the other meeting headless linux sample template repo though which may be what you’re referring to based on the screenshot you shared?
One thing to mention is that join tokens are not authorization tokens and to join a meeting that requires loginyou’d need to supply a ZAK token. This will allow you to start a meeting and join authorization-required meetings too
Alternativelyyou could use a third-party integration like Recall.ai which streamlines the entire integration process into one simple-to-use api
Best of luck buildingcheers!

@amanda-recallai If you take a look at the meeting_service_interface.h file in linux meeting sdk .
You can see that the 500 error code in the file
MEETING_FAIL_APP_PRIVILEGE_TOKEN_ERROR = 500 ///<App join token error.
Zak token is to join a meeting on behalf of a user right.? I want the bot to join independentlynot behalf of a user. Can I do that in zoom?
You’re correct that the ZAK token is required to join a meeting on behalf of a userbut it’s actually not needed if you just want the bot to join on its own.
My suggestion here would just be to omit any kind of join token in your config.tomland instead just provide your Client IDClient Secretand the meeting URL that you want to join.
Let me know if that works for you!

@amanda-recallai It didn’t work as in the meeting setting I have enabled “require authentication to join” option for the meeting that my bot is trying to join . With only Client IDClient Secretand the meeting URL I am getting error
failed to connect to the meeting with MeetingFailCode 23
the error code details inside the sdk is as follows
MEETING_FAIL_ENFORCE_LOGIN = 23,///<Webinar request to login.
Is the purpose of join-token option in sdk is to allow a bot to a meeting with mandatory login option enabled.?
The Join Token allows you to join meetings without authentication requirementsbut it will fail when “require authentication to join” is enabled (as you’ve seen with error code 23)
In contrastThe ZAK token is necessary to join as an authenticated userespecially when mandatory login is enforced
For your bot to join a meeting with this settingyou must use a ZAK token alongside the JWTnot just the Client IDClient Secretand meeting URL.
