We would ideally like to be able to identify where multiple recordings happened in a single “meeting”. The only way we have found currently is to start recording, then make our own timestamp record, then after the recordings are processed we can match recordings using our saved timestamps. So my question is. Is there any other method available to identify where recordings came from, eg. pass custom meta data or an id to the recording when recording is started? ---

Hi @Ben17 Would you be able to use the [recording.started](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/meetings/events/#tag/recording/POSTrecording.started) webhook and create an ID based off the timestamp in the request payload? ---
