Hello!  
I am using the meetings API to return participants ([https://api.zoom.us/v2/report/meetings/](https://api.zoom.us/v2/report/meetings/)\<meeting\_id\>/participants).  
Te participants list is returned, but if a participant has a comma in the name (John Doe, PhD) in the API response it is returned as John Doe# PhD - the comma (,) is returned as hashtag (#).  
Not sure if the same happens for the webinars API.  
Please advise.  
Thank you,  
Marius
