How can you enter zoom conferencing details in the `conferenceData` parameter? - google-calendar-api

Question

Google Calendar Docs suggest that there is an way to enter 3P links. But, I failed after multiple attempts. Is there any way to do so?
I tried different ways to enter details into conferenceData object. Tried insert, update and patch.
Code Snippet
const insertEvent = await calendar.events.insert({
calendarId: "primary",
sendNotifications: true,
supportsAttachments: true,
requestBody: {
summary: "Hell Yeah",
start: {
dateTime: "2022-03-25T08:30:00.000Z",
timeZone: "Asia/Kolkata",
},
end: {
dateTime: "2022-03-25T09:30:00.000Z",
timeZone: "Asia/Kolkata",
},
conferenceData: {
conferenceId: "93831668388",
conferenceSolution: {
iconUri: "https://st1.zoom.us/static/6.0.5527/image/new/ZoomLogo.png",
key: { type: "addOn" },
name: "Zoom",
},
entryPoints: [
{
entryPointType: "video",
label: "zoom.us/j/93831668388?pwd=UHRqU0VwMjF3d1B0VXU5bFBRYWIxdz09",
passcode: "4gnZXJ",
uri: "https://zoom.us/j/93831668388?pwd=UHRqU0VwMjF3d1B0VXU5bFBRYWIxdz09",
},
],
},
},
});
But the event was created without any zoom meeting links.

The problem with your request is the iconUri. Your request will work without it. The documentation does not specify any requirement for iconUri, however, I tried with multiple formats (png, SVG, jpg, etc.) and it's not clear to me what the restrictions are, even the icon they use for Google Meet will fail. One example of a working iconUri is the one used by the Zoom add-on.
The minimal working example is something like this:
conferenceData: {
conferenceSolution: {
key: { type: "addOn" },
name: "Zoom",
},
entryPoints: [
{
entryPointType: "video",
passcode: "4gnZXJ",
uri: "https://zoom.us/j/93831668388?pwd=UHRqU0VwMjF3d1B0VXU5bFBRYWIxdz09",
},
],
},
Something similar to the one generated by the plugin will be like this:
"conferenceData": {
"entryPoints": [
{
"entryPointType": "video",
"uri": "https://zoom.us/j/93831668388?pwd=UHRqU0VwMjF3d1B0VXU5bFBRYWIxdz09",
"label": "zoom.us/j/93831668388?pwd=UHRqU0VwMjF3d1B0VXU5bFBRYWIxdz09",
"meetingCode": "93831668388",
"passcode": "4gnZXJ"
},
{
"regionCode": "US",
"entryPointType": "phone",
