Cant update meeting with breakout_room setting during meeting

Description
I am using zoom web api and zoom web sdk.
I make program that would change the configuration of the breakout room several times during a meeting.

I use zoom api Update a meeting.

I changed “Setting->breakout_room” setting in the zoom API to change the configuration of the breakout room during a meeting.

And it was working fine.

But today, I got a message

<Response [400]>
{"code":3002, "message": "Sorry, you cannot edit this meeting since it's in progress."}

And I can’t change configuration of the breakout room during a meeting.

How can I change the configuration of the breakout room in the middle of a meeting?

Error

<Response [400]>
{"code":3002, "message": "Sorry, you cannot edit this meeting since it's in progress."}

Which App Type and Endpoint (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?
maybe JWT
endpoint : “v2/meetings/{meetingid}”
method : patch

How To Reproduce (If applicable)
i use golang.
i use modified GitHub - zoom-lib-golang/zoom-lib-golang: Zoom.us client library for Go (Golang)

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. start meeting (ex: meetingid = 9999)

  2. update meeting api “v2/meetings/9999” by patch method

    with below value

{
	"settings" : {
		"breakout_room" : {
			"enable" : True,
			"rooms" : [
				{
					"name" : "room1",
					"participants" : ["test1@gmail.com", "test2@gmail.com"],
				}
			]
		}
	}
}

sorry i am not english user

We are having the same issue.
Also, what is the exepted behaviour of the update meeting method ? If I update a meeting while it is live, are the modification i’m making with the API live for all users ? If no, is there a way to do this (with api or sdk) ?

Same here … is it an undeclared feature or a new bug ?

Hi @abukame
Thanks for your patience while I worked on this issue.
I was able to replicate this behavior and I can confirm that this is the expected behavior.
The Update a meeting endpoint is designed to update scheduled meetings that are not live meetings.

If you would like to update the breakout rooms during a meeting you would need to do it manually.

Hope this helps,
Elisa

Hi @maxim.b , this is indeed the expected behavior.
The update a meeting endpoint is designed to update scheduled meetings only
