Access Denied Error Code 1020

Only recently I have been unable to join a meeting via a link and I get the message Access Denied Error Code 1020. Some of the links do not give the meeting/passcode, so I have been unable to join. Why has this suddenly started to happen? Any help appreciated.

    Hi @catbel 

    Let us know if you have any update.

    We raised a technical support request on zoom and then called to zoom support on phone. They changed ticket status to HIGH, and assigned to Tier 2 support.

    We have a workaround, for now. I'll share it here in case anyone else finds it useful.

    We created a Cloudfront distribution that proxies requests to zoom.us and api.zoom.us. Remember to pass through all the necessary headers.

    Hi All,

    Zoom started working.

    Zoom tech support team has updated us.

    We also validated it from our end, all service started working.

    The was resolved for us. We got a reply from Zoom support that they had a configuration issue in cloudflare. I hope it is resolved for everyone.

    This is still not resolved for me.  Was it a Zoom error, or do I need to do additional configuring?

    Yes it is working for us now (and has been for almost 24 hours now).  I think Zoom had misconfigured their CloudFlare firewall so all apps running in a Linux container failed to register users for a meeting.

    I guess I'll have to wait until it works for me.  I'm still getting Access Denied; I'm just running it in Safari using a link I received for the meeting.

    Thankyou everyone for your responses.  It's great to know that there are plenty of people out there willing to help.  Sorry I was unable to respond individually, but I was not able to access zoom.us.  In response to a ticket I raised with Zoom I was told that they had tried to fix the issue, but that it was a firewall problem with my MacBook that was at fault.  I contacted Mac Support who found some malware on my MacBook that had been causing the problem. Zoom now working again!

    Hi @padmakardasi, do you use a VPN connection? Also, can you check if there are any updates to your Mac that you need to run under System Preferences>Software Update?  If there are, kindly perform them and restart the machine to verify if the issue persists once you have rebooted.
