Hi, I’ m looking to enable cloud recording for a meeting which is in progress using the API [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/inmeetingrecordingcontrol](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/inmeetingrecordingcontrol) I’m getting response as {“code”:200,“message”:“No permission.”}.

And even if I give wrong meeting id (just to check what it returns), it returns the same response.

I’ve created a user-level app and it has scopes which this particular API needs.

Hi @Sneh, the first two things I’d check:

- is this app installed by the meeting host?
- does the host and/or meeting have cloud recording enabled?

Are you able to start meeting recording manually in the app, but not through the app?

Hi @michael.zoom ,  
Yes, this app was installed by me (I was the meeting host). And I’ve enabled the cloud recording on my account. I am also able to start the cloud recording manually from the UI inside the meeting.

Hey @Sneh,

Please send an email to [developersupport@zoom.us](mailto:developersupport@zoom.us) with a link to this thread. In that email, please include the request that you made, including the meeting ID.

Thanks,  
Max
