That’s a bummer @tommy. However, I thought on another thing… Given than an user already enabled access to recordings with timestamps, what if I create an app that listens to the “record.completed” webhook ( [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/webhook-reference/recording-events/recording-completed](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/webhook-reference/recording-events/recording-completed) ), then I extract the Timeline file URL from the payload, and download it in order to process it and get the active speakers information that I need based on the “ts” and “users” attributes of the timeline json. Moments later I found this thread: [Access to zoom recording and speaker activity data](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/access-to-zoom-recording-and-speaker-activity-data/21078) in which you proposed that same idea and that made my day 🙂 Thank you @tommy and Tommy of the past! --- _[View the full topic](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/track-active-speaker-activity-with-background-service/26946)._
