**API Endpoint(s)**  
I have a question about the meeting reports endpoint `https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/rest/reference/zoom-api/methods/#operation/reportMeetings`.

**Description**  
I used to get the `join_time` in the user’s timezone, but recently noticed that the time is being returned in UTC. It’s not clear from the documentation if this change is expected.  
Previously `start_time` was sent in UTC, but was only available for meetings that I hosted, so I was relying on `join_time`. However, `join_time` was previously being sent in my local timezone. Currently, `join_time` seems to be sent in UTC.

Will the `join_time` and `leave_time` continue to be returned in UTC?

**Error?**  
There is no error message, just unexpected behavior.

**How To Reproduce**  
Call the meetings report endpoint and review the timestamps of `start_time`, `join_time`, and `leave_time`.

These are the timestamps of a recent meeting:

```auto
"start_time": "2024-08-14 23:02:53", <--- UTC
"join_time": "08/14/2024 23:02", <--- UTC
"leave_time": "08/14/2024 23:04", <--- UTC

```

These are the timestamps of a meeting in May:

```auto
"start_time": "2024-05-20 17:29:15", <---UTC
"join_time": "05/20/2024 10:29", <--- PT
"leave_time": "05/20/2024 10:30", <--- PT

```

Hi @mbolton , yes it will continue to be UTC to help standardize across the APIs. Will make a note for it to be outlined clearly in our documentation.
