I am creating a Zoom meeting with `registration_type` set to `1`. In certain scenarios, the meeting needs to have `approval_type` set to `0` (automatic approval), while in others, it should be `1` (manual approval).

My question is: If a meeting is initially created with `approval_type` set to `0` and registrants have already been added, can it be updated to `approval_type` `1`? Is this possible?

Please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You could look into using the [Update Meeting API](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/meetings/#tag/meetings/PATCH/meetings/%7BmeetingId%7D)

Hi @jammytest1234 , yes the settings update will apply to anyone who hasn’t registered yet.
