Is there a way to capture webinar information related to practice session such as practice session start times and broadcast start times? Right now, the API schema when retrieving webinar through GET /metrics/webinars/{webinarId} only provides webinar start time. Is that start time the practice session start or the start of the broadcast?

Thanks!

Hi @spencer.lee, I don’t have confirmation on this _yet_ - but Webinar practice sessions may provide UUIDs for the webinar instance.

Can you pass the webinarID into the [List Past Webinar Instances API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/webinars/pastwebinars) and see if those sessions are returned as UUIDs?

Hi @michael.zoom,

Sorry for the delay, had to get correct tokens to test. It looks like the only data that is being stored in the List Past Webinar Instances API is **when the host/alt host starts the webinar in practice session**. Once the host begins broadcasting, that broadcasting timestamp is not being stored anywhere it seems. I’m trying other end points and they are not pointing to a broadcasting time being captured.
