Early OBTP Macro With Zoom Authentication - SOLVED

[Ryan_Ingoglia]

Our users have also been complaining about the 5 minute lead time for the On Button Join.  I found a macro that will allow you to pull up the next few meetings and essentially dial them early on DevNet.  We primarily use Zoom as out collaboration platform. 

The Issue I am having is that when you use the actual "OBTP" join button the URI includes the passcode <Meeting ID>.<Passcode>@zoomcrc.com.  However when you use the macro is only uses the <Meeting ID>@zoomcrc.com.  I cannot find where the passcode is stored so I can grab that to include in the URI.

For reference, using a test meeting I created yesterday, when I use the actual OBTP Join button, this is the output from xstatus call

And when I use the macro, this is the result from xstatus call

When I compare the logs, the actual Join button triggers this response...

CuilApp[1]: User root/internal/phoenix-system about to execute command '/Zoom/Join BookingID: webex-5' from localhost.

However, I do not know how or if it is possible to trigger that from a Macro. 

If anyone knows and can let me know where this passcode is stored or how I can trigger the internal Zoom command, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ryan

The trick is that I had to modify the Zoom email template to include the passcode in the dial string.

Hi,

The macro you mentioned seems to be only dialing using the meetingId. So if you need it to also have the passcodeId you can add that to its code. For reference the macro's code is found here: https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/roomdevices-macros-samples/tree/master/Early%20OBTP and specifically the dial happens on line 77 in the early-obtp.js file. You can modify that dial command to include passcodeId.
