Hi there,  
I’m trying to create a meeting for future, but the start\_time always returns the current time irrespective of the value passed in parameters. I’m using free account and testing this on postman.

URL: [https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/me/meetings](https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/me/meetings)  
parameters:

```auto
{
  "topic": "date-testing-3",
  "type": "2",
  "start_time": "2024-02-15T01:00:00Z",
  "pre_schedule": "true",
  "duration": "60",
  "timezone": "Asia/Calcutta",
  "password": "123",
  "agenda": "Testing testing just for video testing",
  "settings": {
    "email_notification": "true",
    "host_video": "true",
    "breakout_room": {
      "enable": "true"
    }
  }
}

```

response:

```auto
"start_time": "2024-02-10T19:30:00Z",

```

Hi @pingme.kiran , is this an excerpt of your request params? Just double checking since there are extra brackets that do not coincide with what I see.
