# Create a webinar

Schedules a webinar for a webinar host and returns its ID, join URL and, when registration is on, its registration URL.

Note: Needs a Pro or higher plan with the Webinar add-on, and allows 100 requests per host per day.

## Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

### API (official)

- Base URL: https://api.zoom.us/v2
- Endpoint: `POST /users/{userId}/webinars`
- Auth: an OAuth access token, sent as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`
- Docs: https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/

Note: Get the access token from an OAuth app you create on the Zoom App Marketplace. Webinar calls need a Pro or higher plan with the Webinar add-on.

Before anything else, confirm access with the cheapest read-only call, like a list or a search. Never send or change anything to test access.

## Rules

- Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data, and say how many records it touches. One approval covers a batch the user has seen.
- Never print API keys.
