@dmommen thanks for reaching out.

This is a good feature request. I will go ahead and create one. In the meantime, we have this API:

> **[Zoom Meeting API](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/rest/reference/zoom-api/methods/#operation/updatePresenceStatus)**
>
> API Reference for /docs/api/rest/reference/zoom-api/methods

where you can update a users presence states. I know this isnt exactly what you are looking, but its a good start.
