Can i have the list of “timezone” that may be returned by API such as /meetings/{meetingId}  
, and also the correspoing GMT value.

E.g in the example page:

> **[Get a Meeting - Meetings - Zoom API - API Reference](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meeting)**
>
> Retrieve the details of a meeting.
> Scopes: meeting:read:admin meeting:read
> 
> Rate Limit Label: Light
> 
> Authorization
> 
> Flow: authorizationCode
> 
> Authorizat...

its “America/New\_York” --\> GMT-4

I need all the possible value.

Hey @m.wf,

You can see the supported timezones here:

but it only provide a name such as “Asia/Hong\_Kong” , “America/New\_York” which not align the timezone list when i schedule a meeting/webinar.

In what way I can have the GMT value, e.g. “Asia/Hong\_Kong” is GMT +8. ?

Hey @m.wf,

You can get the timezone offset programmatically, for example, in JavaScript use [getTimezoneOffset](https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_gettimezoneoffset.asp).

Thanks,
