Endpoints:  
POST [https://api.zoom.us/v2/groups](https://api.zoom.us/v2/groups) (Create a Group)  
PATCH [https://api.zoom.us/v2/groups/{groupId}](https://api.zoom.us/v2/groups/%7BgroupId%7D) (Update a Group)

I would like to create a group with a description for the group. Alternatively just update the description field for the group.

In the API documentation for both the Create and Update endpoints you are only able to specify the name property.

Request Body:

{  
“name”: “Developers”  
}

Is there a way to create the group with a description or to update it after creation with the API? Maybe it is not documented yet?

Thank you.

We don’t have a method to add a description to a group via API but if this is something you would like to see in the future I recommend posting to our #feature-requests category.
