**Description** I wish to set the host name for the meeting through API. Once I have created the meeting through the API (or perhaps during meeting creation too), I wish to set the host name. I have checked the ZOOM API documentation but I could not locate this feature. I wish to confirm if this action is possible through the APIs currently or not. **Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?** JWT Regards ---

Hey @callmekatootie, You would have to [update the name of the user](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/userupdate), or change use the rename feature if using one of our [SDKs](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/introduction) ([for example, web](https://zoom.github.io/sample-app-web/ZoomMtg.html#rename)). Thanks, Tommy ---
