I’m trying to make a meeting via API (using JWT app).  
My goal is to set authentication option so only users who log into Zoom can join my meeting.  
I’m trying to get authentication options values as described here

- [Zoom Meeting API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/methods/#operation/userSettings)

Endpoint i used:

- [https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{userid}/settings?option=meeting\_authentication](https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/%7Buserid%7D/settings?option=meeting_authentication)

and got an empty json

How to set authentication option and acheive my goal?

Thanks.

@r.ilinets in the [create meeting](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/methods/#operation/meetingCreate) API request, we have a setting to allow only authenticated users to join.

```auto
{
   settings: { meeting_authentication: true }
}

```
