**Description**  
In Zoom meeting when I am changing host to others still host\_id and host\_email shown my name. API (/meetings/{meetingId})

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

**Which Endpoint/s?**  
(/meetings/{meetingId})

Is there another API to get the current host in zoom meeting?

Hi @mohan.puttagunta,

Are you trying to get this information while the meeting is still in session? If so, you will need to utilize this endpoint:

> **[Get meeting details - Dashboards - Zoom API - API Reference](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/dashboards/dashboardmeetingdetail)**
>
> Get details on live or past meetings. This overview will show if features such as audio, video, screen sharing, and recording were being used in the mee...

Let me know if this helps!  
Will
