C++ Zoom Bot Not Using Specified Display Name When Auto-Joining

Hello Zoom Community,

I am building a C++ application that:

1. Automatically joins scheduled Zoom meetings (using the Zoom C++ SDK).

2. Acts as an in-meeting speech translator, capturing audio, translating in real time, and playing back the translated speech.

🛠️ What I’m Trying to Do

• Programmatically join a meeting with a pre-defined display name (e.g. “MyBotTranslator”).

• Once joined, immediately start the translation workflow without any manual intervention.

🚨 The Problem

• Although I pass the correct display name to the SDK’s joinMeetingWithParams call, Zoom still pops up the “Enter your name” dialog instead of using my name.

• Because the name-entry window can’t be controlled by code, the join process never proceeds automatically.

🔍 What I’ve Tried

• Verified the name parameter is correctly set when calling the SDK.

• Tested both JWT and OAuth authentication flows.

• Compared against Zoom’s C++ sample apps (which only work when you manually type a name).

• Searched the SDK docs for flags or config options to suppress the name prompt.

🤔 🤔 Expected vs. Actual

• Expected: Bot joins instantly with the given display name, then begins translating.

• Actual: Zoom stops and waits for manual name entry in the UI dialog.
