Zoom Create Meeting with fixed duration from Start TIme

API and Webhooks
1

Description
A Zoom scheduled meeting starts counting the meeting duration from the time we actually start the meeting but should’t it count the duration from the start time I gave in the Request Body(start_time)

Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?
JWT

Which Endpoint/s?
https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{userId}/meetings

How To Reproduce (If applicable)
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Request https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{userId}/meetings
  2. Start the meeting after 10 mins from the start_time in the Request Body the meeting will continue for the same duration from the actual start time and from the scheduled start time

Is there any way I can schedule a meeting which always counts the duration from the scheduled start time and ends the meeting after that??

Hi @helloparent, a meeting will not be automatically ended based on the duration / scheduled time. You can however use the Update Meeting Status API to end a meeting at a set time.

Hi Michael,
Thankyou so much for the guidance.
kindly help me with one more query:Is it possible to customize the message which comes on the screen on execution of the Update Meeting Status API as the message looks a user friendly.!Capture

Hi @helloparent, unfortunately we don’t have the ability to customize these error messages, as they’re standardized for localization & accessibility.
