Hi all,

I’m trying to take Zoom events and automate adding them to a website event calendar, but I’m running into an issue:

For a published SIMPLE\_EVENT, both GET /v2/zoom\_events/events and GET /v2/zoom\_events/events/{eventId} return description: “” even though the public event page has visible description content. Which API endpoint exposes that public-facing description?

Thank you!
