According to documentation ([Rooms APIs - API - Zoom Developer Docs](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/rooms/#tag/zoom-rooms-content/post/rooms/content/digital_signage/playlists)), The response to a successful call should look like this:

However, that is not what I am observing.

When I issue the following request:

```auto
POST https://api-ca.zoom.us/v2/rooms/content/digital_signage/playlists HTTP/1.1
Host: api-ca.zoom.us
Accept: application/json
Authorization: Bearer <... my token ...>
User-Agent: ZoomNet/DEBUG (+https://github.com/Jericho/ZoomNet)
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 57

{"playlist_name":"ZoomNet Integration Testing: Playlist"}

```

The response I get looks like this:

```auto
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 17:15:15 GMT
Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8

Notice the simple string value in the payload instead of the expected JSON.
