Host key in gg calendar

[kenyue102008]

Hi, can you please provide the host key inside the calendar or send it to the email automatically so the host could easily start the meeting right away without go to slack?
Or is there any else to just being the host when you click on the link, like the participant and the host link are seperated?

The host key is only generated once someone goes to the link! Maybe we can trigger an email once they join?

@kenyue102008 Would @maxwofford 's suggestion above do anything at all to simplify the use case here? Seeing as we cannot generate the host key until meeting creation, it seems like an extra step (going to email) would be almost as painful as the extra step (going to slack). If that's the case, I don't see a strong argument for "fixing" something in a way that doesn't really make anything easier in practice...

Firstly, it has been a long time since I post that so after that time, I already know how slash-z system works ._., secondly, I guess I meant like can we use one and forever host key, like we create a meeting in the Google Calendar, and then whenever I join the meeting, I have to open slack every single time the meeting started to find that key too, which I believe is might extra for some user as if we only have 1 host key use forever even after the meeting ends, that would be a bit nice, which we only have to take note of the code only, sorry for my bad english at the time (April 28) I posted, but this time is all what I meant.

Thank you for linking me to this page. As I normally use my school computer which prohibits the use of Slack, I am not able to get the host key from Slack. Therefore, I do think that the idea of sending the host key through email is helpful, and would be a great feature to have.

I would also like to suggest - if it is possible, for us to be able to customise the host key. By doing so, we would be able to use the same meeting host key for each meeting, and make it less troublesome to find the host key.

Thanks for upvoting my idea :D, btw about the host key customization, based on my knowledge, the host key is generated randomly and automatically by Zoom, so Hack Club team does not able to take control of this key, I dont think its possible at all, but for the email, I believe thats possible.

We generate the host key randomly on our side and send it to Zoom. https://github.com/hackclub/slash-z/blob/master/api/open-zoom-meeting.js#L105-L111
