I was sending a request [https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/XXXX/meetings](https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/XXXX/meetings) to create a meeting but no matter what I passed as a user id (email, user id, or me) I keep getting User does not exist message. I called get user method and take user id from the response but still getting the same error message. ---

Hey @ahaile, @msembijoseph4, Are you using JWT or OAuth? If OAuth, what is the name of your App? Can you also share your request body JSON? Once I know this, I can investigate further. 🙂 Thanks, Tommy ---

Hi @ahaile cc @michael_p.zoom and @tommy I had the same problem, and I think it was because my users didn’t yet have confirmed emails. I used the [custCreate method](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/usercreate) instead and that fixed the problem. ---

Hey @Tommy, I am facing the same issue. I’ve tried with ‘me’, user ID and email ID but nothing worked. Interestingly, I’ve signed up using google ID. Thus it did not send me any activation mail. Later, I tried to sign up using same email ID and it let me go through and did not throw any error. This time, I did receive activation mail. However, even after activation, I am not able to create meetings using /v2/users/{user\_id}/meetings. ---
