Can you please provide a sample of what is contained in the Recording Timeline that you can download from the API, or point me to documentation describing what is contained in the Timeline. I don’t have a paid account, considering the upgrade, but will need to know what information is provided in the file first before we can make that decision. Thanks.

Hey @Wing,

You can find a sample here:

> [@Can't find Timeline file type](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/cant-find-timeline-file-type/8637/16):
>
> Hey @leva, @santa.th0, @maya.bialik, I was able to generate the TIMELINE file in the following way: Make sure timestamp is enabled in your [user settings](https://zoom.us/profile/setting?tab=recording): Start the meeting Start the cloud recording Speak End the meeting. You will notice the TIMELINE file is not present in the Zoom Cloud Recordings Portal It is only accessible from the [Get Recording API endpoint](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/cloud-recording/recordingget).

Thanks,  
Will
