**Overview**  
The Zoom API allows for alternative hosts to be added programmatically to meetings. This enables multiple people from a company to be able to become a host (in the event the host is unavailable to start a meeting).

At this time, all alternative hosts, upon scheduling the meeting will receive an email notification. This request is to see if there is a way to suppress these email notifications as these notifications can just become clutter in the meeting attendees inboxes.

**Current API endpoints in use:**  
Create meeting - [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate)  
Update meeting - [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingupdate](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingupdate)

**Suggested Enhancement:**  
Add API parameter to allow API user to turn on/off notifications.
