Zoom Meeting SDK Auth Endpoint Sample Node.js

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 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-sample-signature-node.js.git

Setup

In terminal, cd into the cloned repo:

$ cd meetingsdk-sample-signature-node.js
Then install the dependencies:

$ npm install
Create an environment file to store your Meeting SDK credentials:

$ touch .env
Add the following code to the .env file, and insert your Zoom Meeting SDK Key and Secret or Client ID and Client Secret for Meeting SDK app type's created after February 11, 2023, found on the App Credentials page in the Zoom App Marketplace:
```
ZOOM_MEETING_SDK_KEY=MEETING_SDK_KEY_HERE
ZOOM_MEETING_SDK_SECRET=MEETING_SDK_SECRET_HERE
```
Save and close .env.
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

If you used the Deploy to Heroku button, enter a name for your app on the page the button took you to (or leave it blank to have a name generated for you), and fill in the values for these,

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)

Then click "Deploy App".

Now you can generate your Meeting SDK JWT via the deployed url Heroku provides.

If you cloned this repo, use the Heroku CLI to deploy your server.

In terminal, create a Heroku app:

$ heroku create
Add your files:

$ git add -A
Commit your files:

$ git commit -m "deploying to heroku"
Deploy your server by pushing your files to Heroku:

$ git push origin heroku
Navigate to your app on the Heroku dashboard, click settings, and add your SDK App Credentials in the Config Variables,
- 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)
