5. Open the downloaded json file, which looks like the following example:

{
  "type": "service_account",
  "project_id": "videosdk-12345",
  "private_key_id": "yourprivateidkeyyourprivateidkeyyourprivateidkey",
  "private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nThisisYourPrivateKeyThisisYourPrivateKeyThisisYourPrivateKey\nThisisYourPrivateKey\nThisisYourPrivateKey\nThisisYourPrivateKey\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
  "client_email": "xxxx-xxxx@videosdk-12345.iam.gserviceaccount.com",

Step 4 : Test

• Create Room with a token generated from the API key you configured.
• Join the room with the roomId created and start recording.
• Then, you can see that recording will be available in your Bucket or Container.
