Hi.

Can I turn off automatic screen recording when starting a meeting? I am using the latest version of the SDK, I did not find the relevant API to set this.

Hi [hejx](https://devforum.zoom.us/u/hejx),

If you do not implement any code to start the recording automatically, please double check if you have enabled the “Automatic recording” on your Zoom web portal:
