Hey @leva, @santa.th0, @maya.bialik,

I was able to generate the TIMELINE file in the following way:

1. Make sure timestamp is enabled in your [user settings](https://zoom.us/profile/setting?tab=recording):

2. Start the meeting

3. Start the cloud recording

4. Speak

5. End the meeting.

6. You will notice the TIMELINE file is not present in the Zoom Cloud Recordings Portal

7. It is only accessible from the [Get Recording API endpoint](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/cloud-recording/recordingget).

Here is the TIMELINE file that was returned for reference:

`GMT20200528-221435_Tommy-G.json`

}
