Hey @deepali.necti,

Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. Please provide an example of the request that you’re using when you see this behavior.

I’ll use that information to reproduce the issue on my end and investigate further.

Thanks,  
Max

Hey @deepali.necti,

Thanks for providing that information. I think that this is happening because you are passing the timezone value as a null value. I think that the timezone is then set using another method such as the timezone of the data center or perhaps the requester.

It might be that depending on the data center that ends up setting this timezone, it uses a different timezone ID. I’ll continue to test this on my end to see if I can spot the same behavior.

In the meantime, as a test, please try populating the timezone property with a valid timezone ID:

Let me know if that resolves the issues that you’re seeing.

Thanks,  
Max
