Article Summaries:

  • Zoom announced that the removal of its Attention Tracking feature will trigger breaking changes to the V2 REST API. From April 3 2020, the “attentiveness_score” field in meeting and webinar participant reports will always return empty, and the “attention_tracking” field in user, group, and account settings will always return false; these fields will be removed in a future release. Additionally, starting April 12 2020, password‑related settings (require_password_for_* and pstn_password_protected) become immutable for K‑12 Free or Pro accounts, except for Free accounts with CC. These changes affect the listed GET and PATCH endpoints for accounts, groups, and users.
