Whenever I create a meeting, the approval_type returned after the meeting is created is always 2 (No registration required). I’m ensuring the JSON posted has the correct approval type, I’ve tried both 0 and 1. Other settings are being set correctly, such as join_before_host and the audio settings. I…

@desautelsj can you post the complete screenshot of the request and response, where the meeting type is set to 2 ? Thanks

@desautelsj , I will help you troubleshoot this issue via email. Thanks

Hi, I am facing the same problem. Meeting type is set to scheduled, and I’m unable to change approval_type (it’s always 2, event if I make a specific PATCH request with this field only). May I ask how did you resolved this issue?

If I set meeting type to 8 then I can use approval type 1, but the REST API for adding a registrant stops working. Apparently one can…

Hey @dtzoom , This is possible. Please share your request url and body so I can debug. Thanks, Tommy

I have this same problem. Paid account, request meeting with registration, approval_type 1 (registration required, manually approve, unique URLs), but the response is approval_type 2 (no registration, generic meeting URL).
