Enable Screen Sharing By Default

API and Webhooks
1

Description
I want to enable Screen Sharing by default for all the meetings that I create via API. I am using this API to create a new meeting.
https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{userId}/meetings
This is the body that I am using
{
“topic”: “This is a demo meeting”,
“start_time”: “2020-09-17T05:01:45.221Z”,
“settings”: {
“join_before_host”: true,
“mute_upon_entry”: true,
“waiting_room”:false,
“host_video”:true,
“participant_video”:true
}
}

I tried looking at the online documentation, but couldn’t find a field in the request to allow screen sharing to be turned on.

Error
Whenever I try to share screen on a meeting generated by this API, I get the message saying Screen Sharing is disabled by the host .

Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?

Which Endpoint/s?
