When using the Update Meeting API Endpoint, can we update a specific field or fields only and have the other fields maintain their values?

For example:

**Origin Values:**

start\_time: 2020-04-28T12:00:00  
duration: 60,  
settings: […]

**New Values:**

duration: 90

**Example Question:**

If I wanted to change the duration, can I send a PATCH request to /meetings/{meetingId} with duration: 90 and the start\_time and settings will all remain the same?

Thanks in advance for your time and patience.

Hey @bizstim.apps,

Yes, you can update single properties using the [PATCH meeting endpoint.](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingupdate) 🙂

Thanks,  
Tommy
