API Endpoint

Description
We are making an application with zoom meeting apis using server to server auth.
Users can make an reservation then our system create a zoom meeting by api.
The user will be participants and tutor will be host of the meeting.

The issue is that both video and audio of the host are off when start a meeting,
however no problem with participants.
I want that when the host enter the meeting, both audio and video are set on automatically.
How to solve this?
