**Description**  
There is now a setting on a zoom cloud recording to set an expiration for the link. The API for Zoom Recording Settings does not seem to show this value nor is there a way to set this value from the API as best I can tell.

**Error**  
No Error, feature request.

**Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?**  
This is an oAuth app that proxies management of some meetings and recordings.

**Which Endpoint/s?**  
Knowing the API endpoint/s can help us to identify your issue faster. Please link the ones you need help/have a question with.  
I am specifically thinking of the  
PATCH# /meetings/{meetingId}/recordings/settings  
endpoint.

We would really like to be able to set this expiry from our oAuth application.

Hi @conder,

It sounds like you’re referring to the sharing settings/link expiration outlined [here](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/205347605-Managing-cloud-recordings), is that right? If so, I’m afraid this is not currently available in the Cloud Recording API, but you raise a great point. If you’re so inclined, I’d recommend suggesting this as a feature request here: #feature-requests

In the meantime, you’ll need to do this in the UI.

Thanks,  
Will
