**Problem** The Zoom Notetaker bot never enters the meeting and never appears in the host’s participant list or waiting room. The notetaker state is stucked in connecting state **Setup** - Nylas v3, US region. Client ID: `f5c0c2c3-90c8-4793-a1db-1168299019dd` (development). - Zoom connector configured, Zoom grant is `valid` ([ron@scaleapp.com.au](mailto:ron@scaleapp.com.au)). - Zoom OAuth app scopes: `meeting:write:meeting`, `meeting:update:meeting`, `meeting:delete:meeting`, `user:read:user`. - Tried both standalone (`POST /v3/notetakers`) and grant-scoped (`POST /v3/grants/{id}/notetakers`). Zoom now seems to require some kind of authorization (they mention OBF or ZAK tokens, or RTMS) for a bot to join a meeting hosted outside its own account, effective 2 March 2026. A note-taking bot is exactly that case. Does Nylas Notetaker already handle this for Zoom automatically, or is there something I need to set up on my end to make the bot join? If there’s a token, scope, or config I’m missing, please point me to how to do it. Google Meet works perfectly for me, so this is Zoom-specific. ---
