**API Endpoint(s) and/or Zoom API Event(s)**

I’m trying to use the userSettings API

**Description**  
Is the “record audio-only files” setting exposed in the userSettings API? I would like to check if a given user has this set in order to inform some subsequent business logic. Although the setting is available in the UI, I do not see it listed in the API spec.

**Error?**  
No error received - just a question about the API spec

**How To Reproduce**  
N/A

Hi Andrew,

This 2019 topic seems to give an indirect response : /t/audio-only-calls/4105

Other “community” posts from 2024 seem to indicate the situation hasn’t changed

You’ll want to check this API endpoint /api/rest/reference/user/methods/#operation/userSettingsUpdate)

More specifically those parameters:  
record\_audio\_file  
record\_gallery\_view  
record\_speaker\_view

Sorry for cutting the links, can’t reply otherwise.
