I wanted to verify if Live Transcription is a setting that is tracked in the webhook “/accounts/{accountId}/settings”

I was looking for a way to track how many users have enabled this setting.

Thanks for any help!

Hey @mkumar05,

Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. Try using the `closed_caption` property from the [Get User Settings API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/usersettings):

Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks,  
Max

Does that include live transcription numbers or is that third party captioning only?

Hey @mkumar05,

That would just confirm if they have enabled the base setting within their Zoom Web Portal:

However, as the setting to handle Closed Caption vs Live Transcription is handled by a different checkbox, I don’t think you would be able to differentiate between the two.

When it comes to seeing who is using JUST transcription - it doesn’t seem we have an API for that. If you would like this to be considered for a future release, I recommend posting in the #feature-requests category.

Thanks,  
Max
