Cannot update "private_chat" group setting

Description
Cannot set private_chat locked setting to true via API request or UI.

Error
No error message, the data is just not being updated.

Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?
OAuth

Which Endpoint/s?
https://api.zoom.us/v2/groups/:groupId/lock_settings

How To Reproduce (If applicable)

  1. Create a new Group via UI or API request:
curl --location --request POST 'https://api.zoom.us/v2/groups' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer access_token' \
--header 'Cookie: cred=cred' \
--data-raw '{
	"name": "Test Group 1"
}'
  1. Try to update Group locked settings:
curl --location --request PATCH 'https://api.zoom.us/v2/groups/yn-AhGHVTq2HlQ-s1O3w2A/lock_settings' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer access_token' \
--header 'Cookie: cred=cred' \
--data-raw '
    "in_meeting": {
        "chat":true,
        "private_chat":true
    }
}'
  1. See that private_chat setting is still false instead of true.

Additional context
After trying to do the same steps via UI I’ve found that I cannot lock the private_chat setting. It shows as true, but pressing the lock button does nothing.

Hey @Skykicker,

Thanks for reporting this. We will look into the issue. (ZOOM-189784)

Hey @Skykicker,

Do you have the End-to-end (E2E) encrypted meetings setting turned on?

Thanks,
Tommy

Thanks, @tommy

After enabling E2E encryption I was able to lock the “private_chat” settings.
