Hey @patil.sagar,

Do you mean [Cloud Recording](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/203741855-Cloud-recording) and [Remote Control](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362673-Request-or-Give-Remote-Control)?

See the remote control support with the Web SDK:

> Hey @gourav, I figured it out. You can control someones screen with the Web SDK, if the person sharing their screen is using the Zoom Client (native app). Here are the combinations: Web SDK to Web SDK = Can’t control either screen Web SDK to Zoom Client App = Can control the Zoom Client App screen Zoom Client App to Web SDK = Can’t control Web SDK screen Zoom Client App to Zoom Client App = Can control either screen Thanks, Tommy

For cloud recording, make sure you have a [plan that comes with cloud recording](https://zoom.us/pricing), and the [cloud recording turned on in your settings](https://zoom.us/profile/setting?tab=recording).

Thanks,  
Tommy
