API v2/Released Sep 18, 2026

v2.5.1

Cap a bot's recording length, and clearer Zoom failures

  • 1new
  • 1improved
  • 1fixed

A per-bot recording cap can now be set, which is useful for meetings that are left open long after everyone has stopped talking. Three Zoom and networking failure reasons are also reported accurately instead of as an unknown error.

New Features

  • timeout_config.max_recording_duration sets a hard cap on a bot's total recording time, between 7200 and 21600 seconds (2 to 6 hours). It defaults to unset, in which case the existing timeouts apply as before. It can be set on bot creation and on scheduled and calendar bots.

Improvements

  • PROXY_UNAVAILABLE, ZOOM_WEBINAR_REGISTRATION_REQUIRED and BLOCKED_BY_ACCOUNT_ADMIN are reported as themselves rather than as UNKNOWN_ERROR, so a bot blocked by a Zoom account administrator or refused because a webinar needs registration says so. See Error codes.

Bug Fixes

  • A Zoom bot granted recording rights no longer abandons the meeting when its first request to start recording is refused; it proceeds once the grant lands.
