I’m working on a prototype app where HeyGen will talk to people to collect some data.
• I’m the host of a Zoom meeting, but I’m scheduling it for another user (a guest)
• I send the meeting link to HeyGen so the bot can join using this same account that booked the meeting
• When the HeyGen avatar enters the meeting, Zoom shows a pop-up that the host needs to approve
• But the host (me) is not in the meeting, so no one approves the pop-up
• Because of this, HeyGen can’t hear the guest

Hi,
You can solve this by scheduling the meeting with the waiting room feature disabled and enabling the setting to allow participants to join before the host.
Another idea would be that you can designate an alternative host when scheduling, allowing someone else to start and manage the meeting..

Here is the page for the integration:

The issue is regarding this part:
⚠️ Important: Make sure to select Approve Recording in Zoom for the avatar to function correctly. Also, remind future meeting hosts to approve this setting too.
