Hello, is it possible to setup a python flask server to handle webhook events from zoom? Or is there some other way to get to know for example when someone starts/stops screen sharing in python without dashboard (free account)?

Hi @Drbek  
Thanks for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum!  
I am happy to help here!  
If you have a free account, you could try setting up an account level OAuth app and add some events to your app, such as [meeting.sharing\_started](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/events/#operation/meeting.sharing_started) and listen to the events for all users in your account.

Let me know if this works.  
Cheers,  
Elisa
