Hey @sivanesan.murugesan,

Have you tried using the Timeline file?

> [@Can't find Timeline file type](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/cant-find-timeline-file-type/8637/16):

> Hey @leva, @santa.th0, @maya.bialik, I was able to generate the TIMELINE file in the following way: Make sure timestamp is enabled in your [user settings](https://zoom.us/profile/setting?tab=recording): Start the meeting Start the cloud recording Speak End the meeting. You will notice the TIMELINE file is not present in the Zoom Cloud Recordings Portal It is only accessible from the [Get Recording API endpoint](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/cloud-recording/recordingget).

Thanks,  
Tommy
