Hi there,

We’ve set up an app to send a webhook message when a recording has been viewed.  
The documentation for this webhook is listed here: [Zoom API Events - Meeting](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/events#/paths/recording.viewed/post)

What we’re finding is that even though a recording is viewed, and it’s being marked as viewed within the Zoom UI, it’s not firing the webhook.

To test this, we added 2 events to the app:

- View registrant has registered
- Recording viewed

When we test both cases, only the first event fires. Is there something we’re missing for the recording viewed event that would trigger this?

Hi @devops2  
Could you please confirm that this is an [on-demand](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360000488283-On-demand-Recordings) webinar. And that you have all the prerequisites listed in the docs?

Hi Elisa, thanks for the response. Yes, I can confirm that we have a Pro plan, cloud recording is enabled and we’ve followed the instructions listed in the on-demand doc.
