Hi @hu-eo ,

I am going to check with my team to see if they are aware of an explanation for this instance.

Thanks so much,  
Gianni

Hi @hu-eo ,

Do you have “advanced encryption” enabled for the chat messages?

Thank you,  
Gianni

Yes, it looks like I do. Ergo, according to this:

> **[Advanced chat encryption](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/207599823-Advanced-chat-encryption)**
>
> Advanced chat encryption will securely send chat messages between Zoom users. Encrypted messaging encrypts all chat messages using TLS 1.2 with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit algorithm....

I would not be able to receive chat events until it’s disabled?

@gianni.zoom

It’s been a couple days since getting a reply, but can you confirm the assumption that “advanced encryption” enabled stops webhook events for chats?

Is there any plan to allow for the webhook events? We’re really more interested in the metadata of that event.

Hi @hu-eo thank you for your patience. Yes, advanced encryption can interfere with the webhook events for chats and is being reviewed for use cases like yours. You help emphasize this need this through #feature-requests and stay up to date with our changelog.

Thanks so much,  
Gianni
