When changing some settings, the `user.settings_updated` webhook is never sent. Two examples:

1. Auto Recordings  
If the user enables or disables auto recordings, we receive the webhook. However if they change from local to cloud or vice versa, we do not receive the webhook.

2. Live Streaming  
If the user allows or disallows live streaming, we receive the webhook. However if they allow/disallow a type of live streaming e.g. Custom Live Streaming Service, we do not receive the webhook.

In both of these cases, these are changes to “subsettings” within a larger setting. Per the documentation, this is incorrect behavior:

> The **User Settings Updated** event is triggered _every time_ the settings of one of your app users or account users are updated.

But, If “Automatic recording” itself is turned OFF or ON then, I do receive the Webhook with event “user.settings\_updated”. Error Webhook for “user.settings\_updated” not received for that change only. Which App Type (OAuth /…

I will add the live streaming settings to the ticket as well. (ZOOM-139931)

Thanks,
