Description
We can get the meeting start time with the time zone info in the invitation API, and in get recording API, there is also time zone info, but the format is different in these two API, for example if I book a meeting in UTC-7 Mazatlan, it shows Mazatlan, but shows America/Mazatlan in the recording API. I suppose America/Mazatlan is the correct one, because it is in IANA standard. Could you please advise how the time zone show in the invitation API? And what’s the standard for it?

Hi @Eve1
Thanks for reaching out.
It looks like the format in the meeting invitation is a little bit simpler and this could be for brevity and to make it more user friendly

But I can confirm that the time zone is the same in both endpoints

Hi Elisa,

Thanks for your reply. Could you please advise the mapping list or standard regular between the brevity time zone and normal time zone? From our program, we want to keep the same format for all time zones from Zoom APIs.

Thanks,

Hi @elisa.zoom ,

That’s great there is the Abbreviation lists, another question, whether any API can get the list from Zoom? Or we need to maintain this list as hard code in our system manually by referring to the Abbreviation list?

Thanks,

Hi @Eve1
We do not have a way to get this list via API so you might need to mantain the list in your system manually
