I’m curious to know if a bot can join a zoom meeting. > [@Advice on creating a meeting recording bot](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/advice-on-creating-a-meeting-recording-bot/7032): > > So we’ve been asked to develop a zoom integration for a client who wants the ability for a bot to be able to be aware of zoom meetings via a calendar integration, join them automatically and dump a video file at the end of the meeting into a data store for analysis / review. It seems as though the JS SDK is only designed to embed the react client and not suitable for use as a headless client with all the important code minified and obfuscated… is this assumption true? Is it because this type o… The above mentioned thread talks about this, however this was long ago. The link ends on the note that making a bot join a zoom meet for recording purpose is not possible. However there are zoom integrations like [gong.io](http://gong.io) and chorus.ai etc who are able to do so. These services talk about “virtual attendee”, so I’m expecting that it is possible now for a bot to join a zoom session. Need more guidance. ---

@anshufirefox We have a feature in beta that will allow you to create applications that run within a Zoom Meeting. We plan to release this feature to the public in the near future but in the meantime, you can find more information here: > **[Zoom Apps](https://explore.zoom.us/en/zoom-apps/)** > > Use the apps you love, right in Zoom.

I am making an application for the purpose of live transcription of zoom sessions. While the Zoom APIs do allow access to the audio and video stream via custom streaming method using an RTMP server, Zoom APIs do not provide timestamps of the speakers or they do not actually categorize the audio stream according to participants. I am curious to know if bots can be helpful in the categorization of audio stream or is there any workaround for time stamps? ---
