Hi, @asma,

Thank you for posting in the Forum. Can you share the exact value you are passing for the start\_time? I’ve experienced a similar problem where I was not sending the start-time value in the right format. Please double-check you are sending the date-time correctly. You can find an example format in the create a meeting API schema:
