The page on [Zoom’s closed caption REST API](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115002212983-Integrating-a-third-party-closed-captioning-service) says:

> breakout room sessions have an additional subconfid parameter

but I cannot find any examples anywhere on the web that show what value this subconfid parameter is supposed to be. What is this value and where can a meeting host get this from?

Hey @zoom27

Thanks for posting on the Zoom Devforum! I am still learning, but I will try my best to help answer your question. 🙂
