Update standalone Notetaker

Changed on

Updates the specified scheduled standalone Notetaker bot. Only Notetakers in the scheduled state can be updated. After the bot joins the meeting, this endpoint returns 400 Bad Request with the message notetaker is not in scheduled state.

To upload a custom video output image, send the request as multipart/form-data with the JSON body in a part named notetaker and the image in a file part referenced by notetaker_settings.video_output.file_key. Small images (up to 1,376,256 decoded bytes) can be sent inline on application/json requests using video_output.media_type and video_output.data instead.
