In the Get user settings response, the in_meeting.closed_caption field appears to no longer be reflecting the user’s closed captioning settings. Was there a change to the endpoint due to groups? What should we use instead to identify if a user is allowing closed captioning in meetings? Thank you!
Hi @alyssa.williams
Welcome to the Zoom Developer Forum!
This is actually the right endpoint to query when trying to identify if a user is allowing closed captioning in meetings!
Can you confirm that this was working previously for you?
Cheers,
Elisa
Hey Elisa!
It was working previously, but stopped working suddenly a few days ago. Was there a breaking API change? I’m also curious about in_meeting.closed_captioning.enable - is this a new field that we need to use instead? It doesn’t appear to reflect the user’s closed caption settings.
To follow up, we’ve done some debugging and the in_meeting.closed_caption field is actually no longer included in the payload at all.
Thanks for the update @alyssa.williams
I was able to replicate this behavior and I can no longer see closed_caption in my response body.
I have reached out to our Engineering team about this issue and I will come back with an update shortly
(ZOOM-373734 internal ticket for reference)
Cheers,
Elisa
Thank you very much! I appreciate the prompt responses.

Hi @alyssa.williams
I am still working on this issue, could you confirm with me if you are calling the following endpoint?
And if so, are you able to see the object “closed_captioning” in your “in_meeting” object?
Thanks,
Elisa
Hello! Yes, we are using that endpoint. We do get that object, but its fields do not reflect the user’s settings as the old “closed_caption” field did.
Is there a reason that the old “closed_caption” field disappeared and is there an ETA/timeline of a fix?
Also, for your info, here’s the payload we receive from the user settings endpoint
