**Description**  
I’m trying to figure out how to determine if the authenticated account has webinars enabled/purchased. Is there a way to do this without using the billing scope?

**Additional context**  
We would like to avoid asking our end users for the billing scope but also would like to avoid calling GET /users/{userId}/webinars and parsing the error to find out the user doesn’t have webinars on their plan

Hi @taylor1, you can check available user features through the User’s settings, which is available with the View User scope.

> **[Get User Settings - Users - Zoom API - API Reference](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/usersettings)**

In the settings object, this info is available within `feature`:
