Same issue as [Unable to update user settings with API](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/unable-to-update-user-settings-with-api/28177) and [Unable to update user settings](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/unable-to-update-user-settings/1654) (closed without being resolved).

Authorization: Bearer   
Accept: application/json, application/xml

{“feature”:{“webinar”:true}}

Hi @antoniomuzzolini,

I believe you will need to pass webinar\_capacity in your request body as well, which is likely why you’re not seeing the change go through.

Let me know if this resolves the issue.

Thanks  
Will

Hi @will.zoom , thank you for your answer, it works.  
I noticed that now it works even if I only pass the _webinar_ parameter. I think that means that until the _webinar\_capacity_ parameter is not defined, you can’t enable the _webinar_ feature.  
Thanks again,  
Antonio
