**API Endpoint(s) and/or Zoom API Event(s)**

PATCH /users/_{userId}_/settings

**Description**

There seems to be a bug in the user settings patch api for the “allow\_live\_streaming” property. When we give patch request to enable the “allow\_live\_stremaing” setting property, the api returns success but the setting is not enabled in zoom account.

> **[Users APIs](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/users/#tag/users/GET/users/%7BuserId%7D/settings)**
>
> API reference for: Users

**Error?**

No error

**How To Reproduce**  
_Steps to reproduce the behavior:_

1. Turn off `allow_live_streaming` setting from your zoom account
2. Call the below curl command to turn on the allow live streaming setting, using valid token and scopes

```shell
curl --request PATCH \
  --url https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/me/settings \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "in_meeting": {
    "allow_live_streaming": true,
}'

```

1. It will return success but if checked the account from zoom, the setting remains unchanged.

@gianni.zoom It worked for 1-2 days and now it isn’t working anymore.  
We tried from both user and account level api, it returns 204 but the settings is not changed.
