Hi @mitz.mulgaonkar,

This would require custom CSS to overlay timing. Our WebSDK doesen’t support this out the box but you could still override the CSS. Other user have do so here - [Zoom Web SDK Styling](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/zoom-web-sdk-styling/4335/7)

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks

Also, with zoom sdk how do I create a new meeting? Right now I am able to join the existing meeting but cannot create a new meeting.

Hi @mitz.mulgaonkar, creating a meeting needs to be handled by the REST API, specifically the [Create Meetings API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate). You can authenticate these requests server-side with [JWT](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/auth/jwt) using the same API Key & Secret.

If you wanted to create an instant meeting, you could follow this workflow:

1. Send a request to Create a Meeting; type: 1 for instant meeting.
2. Receive the response, which includes the Meeting ID of the instant meeting.
3. Join the user as a host / attendee of this meeting.
