**Description** I’m trying to test the new API endpoint for [controlling in-meeting recording](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/inmeetingrecordingcontrol) but I’m unexpectedly getting a permission error. My access token has the `meeting:write` scope as specified in the requirements and I’m trying to control a live meeting with cloud recording enabled. I additionally tested using the API request builder at the bottom of the docs page to ensure my request was well formed. **Error** ```auto $ curl --request PATCH \ --url https://api.zoom.us/v2/live_meetings/9UHrjtlTR4S1qbzjHD8hzw\=\=/events \ --header 'authorization: Bearer ' \ --header 'content-type: application/json' \ --data '{"method":"recording.stop"}' {"code":200,"message":"No permission."} ``` **Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?** OAuth **Which Endpoint/s?** > **[Use In-Meeting Recording Controls - Meetings - Zoom API - API Reference](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/inmeetingrecordingcontrol)** > > Use this API to control the in-meeting recording features such as starting a recording, stopping a recording, pausing a recording, and resuming a record... PATCH /live\_meetings/{meetingId}/events **How To Reproduce (If applicable)** See error ---

Hey @shaneh Thanks for posting on the Zoom Devforum! I am still learning, but I will try my best to help answer your question. 🙂 Checkout this related thread that may have the answer you are looking for: > [@meeting recording for developer account](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/-/417): > > is cloud recording disabled for developer account? I am trying to download a meeting recording that I had conducted, using [https://api.zoom.us/v1/recording/get](https://api.zoom.us/v1/recording/get) but i get ‘there is no recording for this meeting message’. I am passing the uuid as the meeting id. The meeting recording did get saved on my local machine when the meeting ended but I cannot retrieve the recording to test the get recording service.   If this thread did not help, please let us know by replying back here and someone from the Developer Relations team will get back to you shortly. Thanks, DeveloperBot ---

Hey @shaneh, Has the user who owns the meeting installed your OAuth app? Thanks, Tommy ---

Hey @shaneh, To use this API you need to also have the user:write scope or the OAuth user needs to be the meeting host/alternative host. Try that and let me know if it works! 🙂 We will add these additional prerequisites to the docs. Thanks, Tommy ---

Thanks for looking into it @tommy! In this instance, however, the OAuth user was the host, and I was using a token with the user:write scope. ---

@ryan @eric.franzen, Have you tried the same payload using Postman or Curl to see if it works? The content-type application/json should work. If you’re still getting this error when using Postman or Curl, please let me know. Thanks, Will ---

@shaneh, As a next step, can I kindly ask that you send us an email to [developersupport@zoom.us](mailto:developersupport@zoom.us) with the following details: - The meeting ID of the meeting you’re testing with - The ID of the OAuth user or host/alternative host you’re testing with - A copy of your most recent payload that continues to fail These details should help us to take a closer look at your specific acccount. Thanks! Will ---

Yup, curl, httpie, etc. See in my example above where we are setting `Content-Type: application/json`. ---

Hi Will, Thanks for following up! I can confirm that the same issue occurs with Curl and all other implementations. We did open a ticket (ID 7567453) last week with Zoom Developer Support, as the `/live_meetings/{meetingId}/events` API endpoint appears to be down. Last reply: > Thanks for bringing this to our notice. We were able to reproduce this issue, and are currently investigating the root cause. ---
