Hey @dash.rock.dash,

Per the docs, the Update User endpoint returns an empty response when successful.

Thanks,

Hey @dash.rock.dash,

I could not reproduce the issue. Please try the following request body:

```json
{
  "recording": {
    "auto_recording": "cloud"
  }
}

```

And then check your settings here: [https://zoom.us/profile/setting?tab=recording](https://zoom.us/profile/setting?tab=recording)

Thanks,  
Tommy
