If you receive error code 1142 while joining a meeting, this means either that the country from which you are attempting to join is blocked from the meeting or that the host has only allowed participants from certain countries to join. This option is called Approve or block entry for users from specific countries/regions, and can be enabled for all meetings through the Settings page or enabled for individual meetings. 

How to fix it

To fix this issue, contact the meeting’s host and request access by having the host modify the Approve or block entry for users from specific countries/regions setting, either through their Settings page or editing the meeting ahead of the next session.

If the issue persists, submit a request to Zoom Support for troubleshooting assistance. Please provide the following:

• What operating system you are using
• What you were doing when you received this error
• Meeting ID, if in a meeting or trying to join/start a meeting
