Can I start recording the meeting to cloud on behalf of the user as a Chatbot?

Hi - We are building a Zoom Chatbot for Spiti (https://spiti.xyz). Think of Spiti as a centralised library for all team videos. Our use-case is that - team should be able to start recording the meeting using the chatbot and be able to choose to publish the recording to their team workspace on Spiti.

However I couldn’t find any API which can help check the status of recording (whether the meeting recording has started) and be able to start the meeting recording if not already started.

@sai,

Thank you for posting. This sounds like a great use case for a meeting Bots. You will need to create a Zoom App. Also, you can listen to recording webhooks to determine if the recording has started or not.
