.vcxprojAlways create a native Visual Studio .sln + .vcxproj project, not a CMake project. Reasons:
.sln to open in Visual Studio immediatelyconfig.json must be visible in Solution ExplorerThe config.json file (containing sdk_jwt, meeting_number, passcode) must be:
.vcxproj as a <None> item with <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>.vcxproj.filters file so it appears under a "Config" folder in Solution ExplorerExample .vcxproj entry:
<ItemGroup>
<None Include="config.json">
<CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
</None>
</ItemGroup>
Example .vcxproj.filters entry:
<ItemGroup>
<Filter Include="Config">
<UniqueIdentifier>{GUID-HERE}</UniqueIdentifier>
</Filter>
</ItemGroup>

<None Include="config.json">
