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

The start_recording() method, accesible from the meeting class object, is used to initiate the recording of a meeting. This method accepts the following four parameters:
-
1. webhookUrl (optional): This is the webhook URL where you can listen to events related to the recording, such as the start and stop of recording. It triggers when the recording is completed and stored on the server. You can learn more about webhooks here -
2. dirPath (optional): This parameter specifies the path to your cloud bucket where you intend to store the recordings. To enable the storage of recordings in your cloud bucket with VideoSDK, follow this guide (VideoSDK AWS, GCP, Azure Integration) -

4. transcription (optional): This parameter lets you start post transcription for the recording.

meeting.start_recording(RecordingConfig(
webhook_url= "https://example.com", # Optional

dir_path="abcd/abcd", # Optional
transcription=PostTranscriptionConfig(
