Hi @aadistudio , Are you trying to get cloud recordings for your Zoom client, or from a Video SDK application you’ve created? If the latter, you do need a separate Zoom developer account for working with the Video SDK. Thanks, Rehema ---

Hi @rehema.zoom Can you help me with how to use the Zoom Client? Are you referring to the npm install command for Zoom? There is limited documentation available on the internet. Could you please guide me on how to fetch cloud recordings using the Zoom Client? Thanks, Aadithya ---

Hi @aadistudio , Zoom Client is in reference to the downloaded application on your computer, not an npm package. Where are you initiating these recordings? Is it in an application you created yourself, or in a Zoom meeting? If you’re able, you can send a screenshot of the record button you’re clicking to give me a better idea. Just in case, [here is documentation](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/205347605-Managing-and-sharing-cloud-recordings#:~:text=Sign%20in%20to%20the%20Zoom,the%20meeting%20ID%20or%20topic.) on retrieving recordings with the Zoom Client. Thanks, Rehema ---

I found the answer to the problem of accessing Zoom Cloud Recordings using the API Reference. To achieve this, you need to follow these steps: 1. Create a server-to-server OAuth application on the [Zoom Marketplace](https://marketplace.zoom.us/) by logging in with an account that has access to the cloud recording feature. Make sure to enable the necessary scopes for reading recordings. 2. Implement API calls as follows: For more info > [@How do I download a Cloud Recording that has a recording\_play\_passcode (without user interaction)?](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/how-do-i-download-a-cloud-recording-that-has-a-recording-play-passcode-without-user-interaction/85366/13): > > To download a Cloud Recording that has a recording\_play\_passcode without user interaction, you will need to use the Zoom API and a programming language such as Python to automate the process.

Productly provides a single API to record zoom calls. Takes less than a minute to integrate. You can email [zoom-api@productlyai.com](mailto:zoom-api@productlyai.com) for API access! They helped me integrate and get started super quickly ---

You can access Zoom Cloud Recordings via the [List All Recordings](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/rest/reference/zoom-api/methods/#operation/recordingsList) api. Note that it does require you to have a [S2S (server to server) OAuth app](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/internal-apps/s2s-oauth/) which allows you to fetch recordings on behalf of a Zoom user An alternative to the above would be to use a third party [Zoom recording API](https://www.recall.ai/product/zoom-recording-api?utm_source=zoom&utm_medium=forum_answer) can record and transcribe Zoom calls with a single API call
