Capturing email address via API

I know from a March 2023 announcement that Zoom has increased security on user emails, such that sometimes the API calls for something like meeting participants will have blanks for emails. 

 

I know that a solution to this is to make users register.

 

HOWEVER: Zoom will not allow you to require registration on a meeting that is recurring with no fixed time. Which is their work around for when you want to have a recurring meeting that either changes regularly, doesn't fit their recurring options, or for which you have to have more than 60 occurrences.

 

The problem is this seems like I'm boxed in. I want to capture emails. I want to have the meeting be no fixed time recurring. I want this meeting to happen twice a week for at least the next year plus. 

 

Zoom's requirements have boxed me in a bit, where I have to choose between the meeting schedule I want, or registration, and if I pick the schedule I want I can't lookup emails, but I want to! 

 

Is there any workarounds to this combination of requirements?
