**Description**  
Is there any API that retrieve the amount of talk time for each participant in meeting? We need to analyze meetings for our team members so we can make reports from it.

If not, Is there any work around to achieve it?

Hi @mhafez,

There’s not an out-of-the-box method for determining the length of time each participant spoke. However, if you have a Business or higher plan with audio transcription enabled, you can reference the timeline file for a recorded meeting. You can find more details on that here:

> Hey @leva, @santa.th0, @maya.bialik, I was able to generate the TIMELINE file in the following way: Make sure timestamp is enabled in your [user settings](https://zoom.us/profile/setting?tab=recording): Start the meeting Start the cloud recording Speak End the meeting. You will notice the TIMELINE file is not present in the Zoom Cloud Recordings Portal It is only accessible from the [Get Recording API endpoint](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/cloud-recording/recordingget).

Let me know if this helps!

Best,  
Will
