I want to enable webhooks for my app (it is a Meetings SDK app). I notice that, as per the [docs](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/rest/webhook-reference/), I should validate the URL. However, I do not see a “Validate” button on my UI, and it is letting me save changes without this step. This is what I see.

 ![webhooks](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/0/0/00befb5bb398726643be10cf9f28b5d0b08fb6b7.png)

Has this requirement been lifted recently? I could not find anything in the changelogs about it.

In spite of being able to save the changes, I am still not receiving any calls to the endpoint (I am logging incoming requests even before any validation is performed and can see nothing coming in).  
I selected and implemented the validation with zoom’s token.  
I selected the events

- Participants/host joined meeting
- Participants/host left meeting
- All recordings have completed

And I have the following scopes:

- meeting:read:participant:admin
- meeting:update:meeting:admin
- meeting:delete:meeting:admin
- meeting:write:meeting:admin
- meeting:read:participant:master
- cloud\_recording:read:recording:admin
- cloud\_recording:read:recording:master

Update. Turns out I was not receiving the webooks because I had not “added” my app to my account.  
Now I am getting them.  
So, is the “URL validation” step no longer needed?

Hi @jgarcia , is this a new app or one created [before October 23, 2022](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/rest/webhook-reference/#validate-your-webhook-endpoint)?

Hi @jgarcia ,

I am actually seeing the same behavior for my new apps as well. Let me inquire a bit further, but please proceed with the rest of your app.
