Record Meeting - Android

Record meeting allows participants to record video & audio during the meeting. The recording files are available in the developer dashboard. Any participant can start / stop recording any time during the meeting.

This guide shows how to start and stop meeting recording.

1. Start Recording - By using startRecording() function, a participant can start meeting recording. It takes webhookUrl, awsDirPath, config and transcription. Pass null for any you don't use.
2. Stop Recording - By using stopRecording() function, a participant can stop meeting recording.

Start And Stop Recording

Both methods are suspend functions. Call them from a coroutine, such as lifecycleScope.launch (from androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime-ktx), and catch the VideoSDKException they throw when a call is refused or fails.

// TODO: change webhookUrl
val webhookUrl = "<webhook-url-here>"

// keep track of recording, updated in onRecordingStateChanged below
var recording = false

findViewById<View>(R.id.btnRecording).setOnClickListener { view: View? ->
    lifecycleScope.launch {
        try {
            if (!recording) {
                meeting!!.startRecording(webhookUrl, null, null, null)
            } else {
                meeting!!.stopRecording()
            }
        } catch (e: VideoSDKException) {
            Log.e("VideoSDK", "Recording request failed: ${e.code} ${e.name}")
        }
    }
}

Events

• onRecordingStateChanged - An onRecordingStateChanged event will be triggered any time the recording state of a meeting changes. startRecording() returns once the request is sent, so wait for RECORDING_STARTED before you show that the meeting is being recorded.

object : MeetingEventListener() {
  override fun onRecordingStateChanged(recordingState: String) {
    when (recordingState) {
        "RECORDING_STARTING" -> {
            Log.d("onRecordingStateChanged", "Meeting recording is starting")
        }
        "RECORDING_STARTED" -> {
            recording = true
            Log.d("onRecordingStateChanged", "Meeting recording is started")
        }
        "RECORDING_STOPPING" -> {
            Log.d("onRecordingStateChanged", "Meeting recording is stopping")
        }
        "RECORDING_STOPPED" -> {
            recording = false
            Log.d("onRecordingStateChanged", "Meeting recording is stopped")
        }
    }
  }
}
