Hi @islamiccyb.erdentist Thanks for reaching out to the Zoom Developer forum and welcome to our community! Could you please share with me the entire request body that you are sending when creating the meeting so I can take a look at your request and try to replicate this issue on my end? Cheers, Elisa ---

like this exports.createMeetings = async params =\> { const { userId, topic, duration, agenda, roomType } = params; const token = await jwtZoom(); const url = `${process.env.ZOOM_API_URL}users/${userId}/meetings`; const payload = { topic: topic || ‘Islamic Cyber Dentistry’, type: 1, duration: duration || 120, timezone: ‘Asia/Jakarta’, password: ‘xxxx’, agenda: agenda || ‘Islamic Cyber Dentistry’, settings: payloadSettings, roomType: roomType || ‘Islamic Cyber Dentistry’, }; // console.log({ token, url, payload }); const response = await axios.post(url, payload, { headers: { ‘Content-Type’: ‘application/json’, Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`, }, json: true, }); if (!response) { throw new Error(‘Cannot add meetings’); } if (response.status !== 201) { throw new Error(‘Cannot add meetings’); } return response.data; }; ---

Hi @islamiccyb.erdentist thanks for sharing this with me, but I noticed that you did not share the payloadSettings with me., it would be helpful if you can share that with me as well, ---

this is payloadSettings const payloadSettings = { host\_video: true, participant\_video: true, join\_before\_host: false, mute\_upon\_entry: true, watermark: false, use\_pmi: false, approval\_type: 0, audio: ‘both’, auto\_recording: ‘cloud’, enforce\_login: false, waiting\_room: false, }; ---

Hi @islamiccyb.erdentist I did some testing on my end and it looks like you are setting the type of the meeting to be an instant meeting type 1 which uses the PMI of the host. I would suggest you change the type of the meeting to type 2 to be a scheduled meeting and that way the autorecording\_cloud will be applied. Also, make sure to go to your Admin Tab \> Account management \> Account settings \> Recording and enable the setting automatic recording to “record in the cloud” ![Screenshot 2023-08-09 at 12.21.24 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/0/4/041440a52b77abdbe809c55dba6f23ec5e347816.png) ---
