**Description/Error**  
I cannot set enforce\_login to true while creating meetings via API.  
If have tried to update the same meeting from the update meeting API. It also doesn’t help

**Which Endpoint/s?**

- To create meeting  
POST

# /users/{userId}/meetings

- To update meeting  
PATCH

# /meetings/{meetingId}

both the APIs request have same body which has enforce\_login: true  
However, when I check the created meeting settings from the zoom dashboad, it can see that the enforce login field is not set

**Screenshots (If applicable)**

Hey @saurabh,

We are working on fixing this bug to allow the API to set the enforce\_login to true. We are currently scheduled to release the fix at the end of the month.

In the meantime, please set the enforce login settings via your meeting, profile or account level settings on the Zoom Web Portal.

Thanks,  
Tommy

Hey @tommy,

I did and it is not working.

I am sedding these settings -

```auto
'settings': {
  'host_video': False,
  'participant_video': False,
  'enforce_login': True,
   'join_before_host': True,
   'audio': 'voip',
  'auto_recording': 'cloud',
  'mute_upon_entry': True
}

```

all other options are getting set but `enforce_login` is not.
