I am attempting to start cloud recording while using the UI toolkit. Since cloud recording is not a baked in feature is there a good way for me to access sessionID to make a rest call to start the recording? ---

Hey @ngiesbrecht , Cloud recording is now available: [Version 2.1.0-1 - Zoom Developers](https://developers.zoom.us/changelog/ui-toolkit/web/2.1.0-1) In your Video SDK settings you can also [default recording to be on](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/video-sdk/account/#enable-cloud-recording) or [create a session](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/video-sdk/#tag/sessions/POST/videosdk/sessions) with recording enabled by default. Best, Tommy ---

The “solution” doesn’t answer the OP’s question. How does one access the current SessionID so we can make REST calls?
