Is there a way to fetch data about microphone\camera usage for a user in a meeting?  
By data I mean mostly metadata such as on\off duration, time start \ end for using the microphone, etc.

Thanks!

Hi @aviv1993,

While we don’t have an API report that returns whether or not a participant had their camera/mic on (this is a great suggestion), you might find some other helpful info in this endpoint:

> **[Get Meeting Participant Reports - Reports - Zoom API - API Reference](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/reports/reportmeetingparticipants)**

> Get participant report for a past meeting.

That said, I can definitely appreciate why this information would be helpful—if you’re so inclined, I might recommend submitting a feature request for this here: #feature-requests

Thanks,  
Will
