Hello, I’m trying to unifying a list of account with the following setting, ``` body = { "schedule_meeting":{"participants_video":False, "audio_type":'both', "join_before_host":False}, "in_meeting":{"chat":True, "feedback":False, "co_host":True, "entry_exit_chime":'host', "polling": True, "annotation":True, "non_verbal_feedback":True, "breakout_room":True, "remote_support":False, "attention_tracking":True, "allow_live_streaming":True, "workplace_by_facebook":True, "custom_live_streaming":True, "show_meeting_control_toolbar":True }, "recording":{"cloud_recording":True, "record_speaker_view":False, "record_audio_file":False, "save_chat_text":False, "show_timestamp":False, "auto_recording":"none", "host_pause_stop_recording":True } } ``` but despite the `"cloud_recording":True` option, the user can’t record on the cloud. If I go as admin on the recording page setting I can activate it. What do I miss ? Thanks ---

Hey @EVant, Can you try passing in your booleans all lower case? For example `true` instead of `True`. Also, make sure the cloud recording setting is enabled at the [account level](https://zoom.us/account/setting?tab=recording): ![Screen Shot 2020-03-20 at 3.22.34 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/2X/d/d2315fafdfc6a664de3de809b013869c29d02ba0.png) Thanks, Tommy ---

At the account level it is enabled. with this body ``` body = { "schedule_meeting":{"participants_video":'false', "audio_type":'both', "join_before_host":'false'}, "in_meeting":{"chat":'true', "feedback":'false', "co_host":'true', "entry_exit_chime":'host', "polling": 'true', "annotation":'true', "non_verbal_feedback":'true', "breakout_room":'true', "remote_support":'false', "attention_tracking":'true', "allow_live_streaming":'true', "workplace_by_facebook":'true', "custom_live_streaming":'true', "show_meeting_control_toolbar":'true' }, "recording":{"cloud_recording":'true', "record_speaker_view":'false', "record_audio_file":'false', "save_chat_text":'false', "show_timestamp":'false', "auto_recording":"none", "host_pause_stop_recording":'true' } } url = 'https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{}/settings'.format(id) r = requests.patch(url, json = body, headers=headers) ``` the script works fine each request returns a 204 Response but I still don’t have the record on the cloud option activated… ---

Hey @EVant, I was able to get this to work with the following request body: ```json { "recording": { "cloud_recording":true } } ``` Not sure if that is a bug, or if one of the other settings you were setting in your payload was over-ridding the cloud recording on option. Thanks, Tommy ---
