Hey @hemant.shinde,

Unfortunately you cannot disable In Meeting Chat with the Meeting API.

Here is how to disable in meeting chat [via the Zoom Web Portal](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115004809306-Controlling-and-Disabling-In-Meeting-Chat#h_3eac4d22-bbcb-4754-bbf8-f07754e6de1b), and [via the API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/accounts/accountsettingsupdate).

[If you use on of our SDKs, you can disable / enable Chat on a per meeting basis.](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/preface/introducing-zoom-sdk)

Thanks,  
Tommy
