Hi,

I am using web SDK to join a meeting and server-to-server OAuth for creating a meeting.

When joining the meeting i am passing the Role=1 in signature to join as host.

but On the admin dashboard, it shows as a guest …

I want to join as Host because i don’t want the "Your call is being recorded message " Popup.  
Auto recording in enabled by the admin…

I am using the latest web SDK.  
You can see code in the image :

@pawanshreemedtech,

Please double-checked that automatic recording is not enabled on the Account level. Here is our support documentation on that :

> **[Enabling and disabling automatic recording](https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0067954)**
>
> Automatic recording is an option that allows the host to start computer recordings or cloud recordings

You should also check to see if an automatic recording is disabled for the meeting you are joining. You can do so by hitting the [get a meeting](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/methods/#operation/meeting) endpoint or by checking the auto\_recording property value when [creating a meeting](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/methods/#operation/meetingCreate) :
