Hi @ktremblay,

Good question—if you wish to disable registration, you can do so via the [Create Meeting Endpoint](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate#request-body) when you initially create it, by setting the `"approval_type"` to `2` in the `"settings"` object of the request body.

For an existing meeting, you can use the [Update Meeting](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingupdate) endpoint.

Hope this helps!

Best,  
Will
