How to Start Recording Automatically When Guests Join a Zoom Meeting

Hi everyone,

I’m working with the Zoom API to programmatically create meetings and I have a question about automatic recording configuration.

I’ve used the auto_recording parameter set to cloud, which works fine, but the recording only starts when the host joins the meeting. I would like to know if there is a way to configure the recording to start automatically when guests start joining the meeting, not just when the host joins.

Is there any parameter or setting in the Zoom API that allows this? If it’s not directly possible, are there any other solutions or recommended approaches to achieve this functionality?

I appreciate any help or suggestions you can offer.
