Hey @lasantha57 ,

This will need to be handled on your end. The Fully Customizable SDK is mainly just for providing the video and audio streams.

Thanks,  
Tommy

Looking through the API reference for the Web, I couldn’t see any api that lets you access the video stream. So even if the backend is suppose to handle storing the stream, how can it do this if the browser api doesn’t provide access to the stream? Can you please elaborate and indicate if the stream is available through some api in Javascript. Thanks!

Hey @AndroidDev ,

Which docs are you looking at? Here are the ones for the Fully Customizable Web SDK:

> **[Web - Fully Customizable SDKs - Zoom Software Development Kit (Zoom SDK)](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/custom/web)**
>
> Sessions are not Zoom Meetings; instead, with no default user-interface, this SDK is designed to support unique video applications.
> 
> Getting Started
> 
> ...

Thanks,  
Tommy

Hey @AndroidDev , @lasantha57 ,

I wanted to share this article on how you can record an HTML Canvas. This approach could be used to record a Video SDK Session:

> **[How to record a canvas element](https://medium.com/@amatewasu/how-to-record-a-canvas-element-d4d0826d3591)**
>
> This is a really short tutorial in order to show you how to record a canvas element properly

Thanks,  
Tommy
