Hi @Emanuel_Aguirree

Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum, I am happy to help here!

Could you please share with me the entire request body that you are sending when making this POST request, so I can help you debugging this issue?

Thanks
Elisa

Hi @Emanuel_Aguirre

From the request body that you are sharing here, you are only passing the “topic”, that could be the reason why this host can not start the meeting.

I would encourage you to pass more arguments in the request, in order to create a more specific meeting

Here is the documentation for calling the Create meeting endpoint Create Meeting

Thanks,
Elisa

A guess is not an answer. I would rather get an sincere “I don’t know”.

Here is the documentation for calling the Create meeting endpoint Create Meeting

Have you read the documentation? It points there is no need for any parameter when using this endpoint. All of them are optional.
So having one or ten parameters on the requests body makes no difference.

We deleted this bugged Zoom host user to fix this issue. You can close this topic or do whatever you want as usual.

Sorry for the inconvenience
