Include meeting settings in meeting created webhook

Feature Requests

Well hi there Zoomers!

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It seems as though it’s only possible to determine if a meeting required registration from a meeting updated event and not at meeting creation time.

Describe the solution you’d like
It would be really handy if the meeting created event had content parity with the meeting updated event.

Hey @doctor_j,

You can get this info from the Create Meeting repsonse.

What is your use case for also needing this in a webhook?

Thanks,
Tommy

Hi Tommy,

The use case is for users creating meetings using the Zoom app for whatever operating system they’re running or within the browser (not using a third-party interface).

The goal is to gain insight into the steps taken to secure meetings from eavesdropping and bombing by outsiders. Consuming meeting.created events as a stream, identifying these vulnerable meetings without incurring additional API calls.If the meeting is never updated, the data is hidden from a streaming-only system.

Hey @doctor_j,

You could derive this by checking if any registration settings were updated when receiving the meeting updated webhook. Only settings that were changed are including in the update meeting webhook.

Does that help?

Thanks,
Tommy

Hi Tommy, I’m already familiar with and using the meeting updated webhook in this way. However this is only useful for meetings that are updated. It really seems as though the information pertinent to the disposition of each meeting should be sent at creation time. After all, many meetings simply won’t be updated.

Hey @doctor_j,

Upon meeting creation (meeting created webhook), you can call the Get Meeting endpoint to retrieve the settings. We limit the data sent in the webhooks to keep them light.

Thanks,
Tommy
