Thanks for the plugin. I followed the same as what you have explained, but getting this error

And the logs return this:

Edit: Webinar ID as 656-530-215 also gives the same error.

Looks like the API request to webinars/WEBINAR_ID is not returning nil for the start_time of the webinar from Zoom. You might want to test your API credentials outside of the plugin, using a tool like Postman, for example.

I did a test of API credentials and its fine. Then I did a quick update of the plugin and I am able to connect to the webinar.

  1. I am not sure, if it is for the update or, I tried to create a webinar topic, after the webinar was actually started/in progress.

  2. What time does the plugin use to calculate the Event begins in time? I have logged in from two devices at the same time, but the Event begins in show different times.

From laptop: (which has a time advance of 7 mins)

It uses the time returned by javascript’s new Date(). The difference you see in your screenshots matches the 7-min advance on the laptop.

It works great. Btw, is there any possibility that I can show the chat in webinar as a discussion to the topic?
