## Need to download/play the recording even if the user turn off the passcode option. **Description** I have built my app with oauth2 integration and in the I have using the recording.completed webhook for getting the details of the recording after it gets completed. But the issue is when the user turned in the passcode toggle then I am unable to download the recording. So I need to know is it possible to get the recording even the user turned on the passcode toggle? Kindly let me know. ---

Hi @tusharjainenthu.ai , Happy to help! How are you trying to download the recording and what are the user’s [sharing settings](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/205347605-Managing-and-sharing-cloud-recordings) please? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/4/b/4bb2fd185dcf6c18bdc08437ef50b4d3010ddda3.png) Thank you, Gianni ---

Thanks for the reply gianni. _How are you trying to download the recording?_ I copy paste the downloadUrl I get inside my webhook then it asks me for the passcode. _What are the user’s sharing settings?_ I am talking about the these settings inside [Sign In - Zoom](https://us06web.zoom.us/profile/setting?tab=recording) **Require passcode to access shared cloud recordings** After doing toggle on it requires passcode whenever I try to download the recording. I need that url free from this setting. ---

Hi @tusharjainenthu.ai , Are you not able to it back to turn off the password? Is the toggle greyed out? If so, who is the Admin for the associated account? Thanks! ---

I am able to turn on and turn off the toggle but the issue is not everyone knows about this setting. So is there any way using api or something else I can able to download the recording without passcode or make toggle turn off using api? ---

Hi @tusharjainenthu.ai , I do not believe you can turn it off via API; you can just update the password requirements with either of these endpoints: [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/accounts/accountsettingsupdate](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/accounts/accountsettingsupdate) [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/accounts/accountsettingsupdate](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/accounts/accountsettingsupdate) ![Screen Shot 2021-10-14 at 1.16.01 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/7/8/788f8ebf6d4376e13e490349bc12a41a8ad0f966.png) You can also set an arbitrary password for meetings via this endpoint: > **[Update meeting recording settings - Cloud Recording - Zoom API - API Reference](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/cloud-recording/recordingsettingsupdate)** > > Update settings applied to a meeting's Cloud Recording > Scopes: recording:write:admin recording:write > > Rate Limit Label: Light > > Authorization > > Flow: au... ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/9/2/928930c3bb3966ff2eb7dbd0d5d42082bd6d2ba8.png) Does this help?

Thanks gianni… Thanks for the info… My final question is “is it required to turn off the passcode toggle in order to access the recording?” Because I am using oauth2 to get the recording data and it asks me for the passcode(because my passcode toggle is turned on). I want it to be free from that toggle. If not possible then please confirm me So I will ask my users to turn it off before using my app. Thanks ---

Hey @tusharjainenthu.ai, When using the [Get Meeting Recordings API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/cloud-recording/recordingget) are you using the access\_token along with the download\_url? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/5/7/57ede97f15d76034688603357bc439604a1e3cf0.png) Let me know if that helps. Thanks, Max ---
