In regards to the previous discussion in the Zoom developer forum [**Zoom bot to record and transcribe meetings**](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/zoom-bot-to-record-and-transcribe-meetings/55406) , @MaxM mentioned that he was working to implement an API to simplify the process and would provide a guide. Is there any update for this?  
Any feedback you can give me on this would be grateful.

Hi @donte.zoom @MaxM We are trying to use the new API for retrieving the Closed Caption Token.  
It works only if the oath token belongs to the meeting creator. Is it possible to use this API for meeting we did not create, but for which we got co-host/host/cc ?
