Hey @manusha,

There are a number of issues with your request body JSON. Here is a working example:

```json
{
  "topic": "Test Meeting",
  "type": 2,
  "start_time": "2020-09-10T03:46:58Z",
  "duration": 30,
  "password": "123456",
  "settings": {
    "host_video": true,
    "participant_video": true,
    "cn_meeting": false,
    "in_meeting": false,
    "join_before_host": false,
    "mute_upon_entry": false,
    "watermark": false,
    "use_pmi": false,
    "approval_type": 2,
    "registration_type": 1,
    "audio": "both",
    "auto_recording": "none",
    "enforce_login": true,
    "registrants_email_notification": false
  }
}

```

Make sure to double check the [docs](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate) to see what values are allowed for each property.

Thanks,  
Tommy
