**Description**  
I used these parameres to create a meeting. start\_time use in GMT 0.

` {

> topic: ‘Test’,  
> type: 2,  
> start\_time: ‘2021-09-09T10:51:00:00Z’,  
> duration: 60  
> }`

**Error**  
When I check the created event in the dashboard, I was hoping to see the event date time to be converted into my selected timezone (Australia/Melbourne). But what i see is start time is “10:51 AM” but in GMT +10 time zone.

Since i was use GMT 0 as the start\_time. the correct time should be 8.51 PM GMT+10.  
When I click the meeting edit button, I can see timezone is selected to GMT +10. But i have not provided the specific time zone when creating the meeting.

**Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?**  
This is zoom api with “/users/me/meetings” endpoint

Thank you in advance

Hi @shashikaxp,

If you remove the ‘Z’ from your start\_time and do not pass a timezone field, it should default to the timezone used on your account. Please note that our API will always return the start\_time in UTC in the API response.

Let me know if this helps,  
Will
