Hey @filip.baranczuk, It sounds like you may be trying to use the Zoom Apps SDK currently, is that accurate? If the end goal is to receive/process the raw audio and video streams, you’re correct that you’ll have to connect the bot and process any media on the backend. Thus, you’ll want to use a different approach than the Zoom Apps SDK for this. There are a few options here: ### 1. Meeting SDK You can use the Windows or Linux Meeting SDK to [access raw data](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/meeting-sdk/#access-to-raw-data). We recommend the Linux SDK – this is currently what we use to power our own meeting bots at scale. ### 2. RTMP streaming Another option is to use RTMP streaming. [This post](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/live-streaming-with-rtmp/63328/3) is a great starting point for learning more about RTMP streaming and example use cases. ### 3. Recall.ai Another alternative is to use [Recall.ai](https://www.recall.ai/?utm_source=zoom_dev_forum&utm_medium=forum_answer&utm_campaign=accessing-media-stream-from-within-the-app&utm_content=Recall.ai)for your meeting bots instead. It’s a simple 3rd party API that lets you use meeting bots to get raw audio/video from meetings without you needing to spend months to build, scale and maintain these bots. Let me know if you have any questions! --- _[View the full topic](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/accessing-media-stream-from-within-the-app/114734)._
