I am looking for a solution for meeting/webinar archive. Instead of calling each meeting/webinar APIs separately, I notice the following description.

> **[Archiving Meeting and Webinar data](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360050431572-Archiving-Meeting-and-Webinar-data)**
>
> Overview
> Zoom’s Meeting and Webinar Archiving solution will allow account administrators to set up an automated mechanism to collect and archive meeting data to a 3rd party platform of their choice...

Please help clarify some points described from the above.

1. I have submitted the application to turn on “meeting/webinar archive” for my account. Does it mean before the application is approved, the use of “Update settings” API (PATCH /accounts/{accountId}/settings) to enable archive won’t work?

2. Once step 1 is finished (both the “meeting/webinar archiving” is approved and the “Update settings” API is used to enable the archiving), the Zoom archive agent begins to record the meeting/webinar to the Zoom Cloud ?

many thanks for the help!
