Description
I’d like to create a recurring zoom meeting with the Zoom API.
However, when I attempt to create a meeting event, the zoom start_time is completely ignored.

Hey @fcedillo,

Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. This is happening because you are using a weekly_days value of 1 which means Sunday. However, since the 15th is a Tuesday, it schedules the meeting for the nearest upcoming Sunday which is the 20th.

Please see our documentation on the Create a Meeting API for more information:

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
