**Description**  
Hi Zoom Team,  
Sorry if I’m asking, I’ve been looking for several discussions, but couldn’t find any related topics to my issue.

I’m confused with the timezone behavior in recurring settings in meeting API. Currently, I set the timezone for my Zoom account with GMT-7. And I hit meeting API (Doc Link 1) with a start\_time in GMT format. But, got the response with start\_time in next date after. I don’t what timezone sent here, but saw that the `timezone` field is “America/Los\_Angeles”.

I expect the response is in GMT-7, but the documentation in ‘Doc Link 2’ said that start\_time is in GMT format.

Could you explain the behavior of this timezone?  
Thank you

Here, I put the steps to reproduce to make it clear.

**How To Reproduce**  
_Current condition: **Zoom account is using GMT-7** _  
_Steps to reproduce the behavior:_  
_1. Hit Create Meeting API (Doc Link 1) with detail as below:_

```auto
start_time: 2022-10-06T04:05:00Z # From doc, I assume it will be in GMT format
duration: 60
recurrence:
    type: 2 # Weekly
    repeat_interval: 1
    weekly_days: "5" # Should be every Thursday
    end_date_time: 2022-11-06T04:05:00Z

```

_2. Hit Get Meeting API (Doc Link 2) and get response detail as below:_

```auto
timezone: "America/Los_Angeles"
recurrence:
    type: 2
    repeat_interval: 1
    weekly_days: "5"
    end_date_time: 2022-11-06T04:05:00Z
occurrences:
  - occurrence_id: 16651xxx
    start_time: 2022-10-07T04:06:00Z
    duration: 60
    status: available
  - occurrence_id: 16657xxx
    start_time: 2022-10-14T04:06:00Z
    duration: 60
    status: available

```

_3. Please note that the date is changed from **Oct 6, 2022** to **Oct 7, 2022** _  
_4. Please also note that **Oct 7, 2022** is **Friday** , though we expect a **Thursday** in recurring setting_
