Demonstrates how to get a Zoom OAuth2.0 access token for desktop applications. Lua

-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

-- The callback URL would look like "http://localhost:3017/" if the port number is 3017.

-- 4: Completed with Access Denied. The OAuth2 flow has completed, the background thread exited, and the error JSON is available in AccessTokenResponse property.
