Add Screen Sharing Indication in Meeting Participants API

My organization is interested in monitoring the Webex meetings to ensure no data loss prevention policies are violated, i.e., no that no sensitive information is exposed during a Webex meeting.


One of the primary channels of possible data exposure,

is screen sharing, for example, an employee is having a Webex session with some product's vendor's support team representative, and and the employee shares his screen to the external vendor in attempt to ask for help in troubleshooting .

When such an event happens, we would like to know that immediately.


Currently there is no convenient way to do so. The Meeting Participants API Endpoint does not include any data regarding if a participant shared his screen or not.


There is way to schedule a report of meeting attendees, and to produce that report output via API, however, this solution is poor both because it's limited up until yesterday (without results from the meetings that are happening now),

and because it requires 4 different calls: 1 to create a report, 2 to get download link, 3 to actually download the report output, and 4 to delete it to free the storage space.


It would be much more convenient if and easy to just ass an additional boolean parameter to the Meeting Participants API that mentions for each Participant where he shared his screen during the meeting or not.
