Hey @akshay.d Thanks for posting on the Zoom Devforum! I am still learning, but I will try my best to help answer your question. šŸ™‚ Checkout these related threads that may have the answer you are looking for: > [@Cannot use webinar API, You need to subscribe webinar plan](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/-/1812): > > when i request [https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/\*\*/webinars](https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/**/webinars), but it return the following contents   { ā€˜codeā€™: 200, ā€˜messageā€™: ā€œCannot use webinar API, You need to subscribe webinar plan and then enable webinar for this user: \*\*\*\*\*\*ā€ }         > [@Add webinar registrant (with invalid webinar ID)](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/-/6284): > > Description/Error Iā€™m seeing successful responses, HTTP status code 201 created, when calling the ā€œadd webinar registrantā€ endpoint with a non-existent webinar id.

Hi @akshay.d, Great questionā€”weā€™ll work on making this clearer in our documentation. To apply a webinar template, you can pass the ID as a query parameter like this: `https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{userId}/webinars?template_id={templateId}` Let me know if this helps! Best, Will ---
