Is there a way to access ongoing meetings real time audio data using APIs? There is cloud recording available from zoom, but we don’t want to wait till it being processed. I want to process those data real time. What I want to do is mimicking zoom’s meeting bot which is described [here](https://medium.com/zoom-developer-blog/live-streaming-to-3rd-party-platforms-now-live-in-zoom-marketplace-74a393f50d83) Is Zoom’s Meeting Bot based on Desktop Client? And how can I join meeting with token issued with [/meetings/{meetingId}/jointoken/local\_recording](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/methods/#operation/meetingLocalRecordingJoinToken)? BTW I recognized there is some Zoom Apps on marketplaces processing real time audio data to provide transcripts or so. What option should I look for to do the similar things? ---

Hi @sungpah_lee , Please check out this post and a few others on our forum when you search “live audio” 🙂 > [@Live Streaming with RTMP](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/live-streaming-with-rtmp/63328/4): > > Example gear Custom Services The quickest way to get started testing with a custom service is to pull an existing project. For this example, we’ll be using a Github project called [Node Media Server](https://github.com/illuspas/Node-Media-Server) to create a simple RTMP server to receive and view the stream data.

Hello @gianni.zoom I want to know more about not just streaming options rather how can I join with Meeting SDK powered app using token issued with [/meetings/{meetingId}/jointoken/local\_recording](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/methods/#operation/meetingLocalRecordingJoinToken). Could you give me some more detail about that? Thank you! ---

@sungpah_lee, happy to break down how you could build a meeting bot. 1. Spin up a server. We recommend AWS, GCP, or Digital Ocean. 2. Use either the Windows or Mac Zoom SDK to launch an instance of the Zoom client. 3. Once you have the Zoom SDK launched, and use the Raw Data functionality to extract the video and audio streams. 4. This will return the video in I420 raw frames and audio in PCM 16LE raw format, so you’ll need to encode the audio and video yourself afterwards. 5. Once you have one instance of this working, you’ll need to scale this across several servers if you want to run multiple bots simultaneously, which is required to have bots for multiple meetings. Another option is Recall.ai. It’s a simple 3rd party API that lets you use meeting bots to get the raw audio/video from meetings + output video/audio without you needing to spend months to build, scale and maintain these bots. Let me know if you have any questions! ---

Hey @blacktigerbusinesswo! There should be a button that says “Book a demo” on the [https://www.recall.ai/](https://www.recall.ai/) website. That’s what you need to click to get an API key. Let me know if you see it? ---

@abhinandan , Have you tried our Linux Meeting SDK? Is provides access to raw data. > **[Overview | Meeting SDK | Linux - Zoom Developers](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/meeting-sdk/linux/add-features/raw-data/)** > > The Zoom Developer Platform is an open platform that allows third-party developers to build applications and integrations upon Zoom’s video-first unified communications platform.
