Hi @rohit, to access a password protected cloud recording, add an “access\_token” parameter to the download URL and provide a [JWT](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/getting-started/app-types/create-jwt-app) as the value of the “access\_token”. Use the [GET Meeting Recordings API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/cloud-recording/recordingget) as a reference. ---

Hey @momaiz.net, Can you private message me your download URL with the JWT Token attached so I can debug? Thanks, Tommy ---

Hi, I am using OAuth Token for all authentication process and API calling instead of JWT Token. How can i download recordings using OAuth? I tried to use OAuth token inplace of JWT token but unable to download recording it says: {“status”:false,“errorCode”:401,“errorMessage”:“com.saasbee.webapp.exception.common.ValidationException: This API does not support oAuth2.”,“result”:null} Suggest me any solution to download these recordings using OAuth authentication ---

Hey @shaheer.shahab, You will need to use the download\_token received from the [Cloud Recording Completed Webhook.](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/webhook-reference/recording-events/recording-completed) `download_url?access_token=DOWNLOAD_TOKEN_HERE` ![Screen Shot 2020-04-17 at 1.02.20 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/2X/d/d8bdc9832879cd9a1e112e64fd5555c17b233f56.png) Thanks, Tommy ---

Hi @tommy, Thanks for the info on the download token on the webhook. How do you access existing password-protected recordings that were there before the Oauth authorization? With webhooks I can only access new recordings as they happen. Thanks, Stephen ---

Hey @stephen, You can use a [JWT Token](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/auth/jwt) to download prior password protected recordings. `download_url?access_token=JWT_TOKEN_HERE` Thanks, Tommy ---

@tommy What about for an Oauth app? Is it possible to download prior password protected recordings from another account that has been authenticated? ---

@tommy I have the same question as @stephen How does an OAuth app download prior password protected recordings? Or handle missed callbacks, or cases when the download can’t be completed within the 1 hour time frame of the token provided in the webhook? ---

Hey @clippermadness, @stephen, We are working on this exact case and will include it in an upcoming release soon. Stay updated here: [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/changelog](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/changelog) Thanks, Tommy ---

Thanks @tommy! We’ll be on the lookout, but do you have an ETA? Meanwhile, I can confirm that the JWT mechanism works as a stopgap. ---

Hey @clippermadness, ETA is in the coming months, but that is subject to change. Glad the JWT workaround is working for you! Thanks, Tommy ---

Hi @tommy, Thanks for your reply, looking forward for your upcoming release for OAuth app. I am now using JWT as a work around but i am facing problem when downloading cc files. I appended JWT token with the dowload\_url and it is working fine with every file except these cc files. [https://zoom.us/rec/play/vtt?fid=](https://zoom.us/rec/play/vtt?fid=)_file\_id_&type=cc&access\_token=_jwt\_token_ When i hit this URL a blank page appear. Any suggestion? ---

I could figure this out but now I am facing another challenge All my meetings are recurring meetings. When I am dowloading recording , recording only of the last session are downloading.
