Currently, when we run a practice session before starting the actual webinar the API does not differentiate between practice sessions and active webinar sessions.

The API should be enhanced to capture a webinar instance type, Practice or Actual.

See discussion thread: [How to differentiate a practice session instance, from the actual broadcasted event](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/how-to-differentiate-a-practice-session-instance-from-the-actual-broadcasted-event/40982)

I can’t seem to find if this feature has been developed, does anyone know if it has?
