Start and Stop - iOS

This guide will provide an overview of how to implement start and stop Meeting Recording.

startRecording()

startRecording() can be used to start a recording of the meeting which can be accessed from the Meeting class. This method accepts three parameters:

• 1. webhookUrl: This would the webhook URL where you would like to listen to event happening for the recording like starting and stopping of recording. It will be triggered when the recording is completed and stored into server. Read more about webhooks here

• 2. awsDirPath: This parameter accepts the path for the your S3 bucket where you want to store recordings to. To allow us to store recording in your S3 bucket, you will need to fill this form by providing the required values. (VideoSDK Cloud (AWS S3, Azure Blob or GCP ) Integration)

• 3. config: This parameter will define how the meeting should be recorded.

• 4. transcription(optional): This parameter will be used to enable post transcription for the recording with the given config.

note

If you don't have a value for webhookUrl,awsDirPath or config, you should pass null in place of the missing value. If you pass null in awsDirPath parameter then by default recordings will be store on the VideoSDK's storage.

Swift

class MeetingViewController {
    // button to start recording the meeting
    @IBAction func recordMeetingButtonTapped(_ sender: Any) {

         let transcription: PostTranscriptionConfig =  PostTranscriptionConfig(
            enabled: true,
            summary: SummaryConfig(
                    enabled: true,
                    prompt: "Write summary in sections like Title, Agenda, Speakers, Action Items, Outlines, Notes and Summary"
                )
            )
         self.meeting?.startRecording(webhookUrl: "<your webhook-url>",
                                    awsDirPath: "<your awsDirPath>",
                                    config: RecordingConfig(layout: ConfigLayout(type: .GRIDpriority: .SPEAKER, gridSize: 4),
                                    theme: .DARK, mode: .video_and_audio,
                                    quality: .high,
                                    orientation: .portrait),
