Hey, I am in the process of developing a bot on top of the Zoom API. The bot needs to perform the following two tasks.

1. Bot should auto join a Zoom call when the host or co-host joins the meeting.
2. The bot should be able to record the audio conversation and video of the meeting with the identification of the conversation of each participant in the call.

The above two steps is where I need some help. Thanks!

Hey @sharadee, thanks for posting and using Zoom!

Currently our API does not support this out of the box.

In the meantime, checkout my post here for a possible workaround:

> Hey @abhilash, Good question, are you trying to get the audio or [video stream](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/how-to-get-image-data-from-recipient-video-canvas/6101)? As of now we don’t have an API for you to get the realtime transcript, although it is possible via [creating a custom streaming service](https://support.3playmedia.com/hc/en-us/articles/360033663034-Zoom-Schedule-Live-Auto-Captioning-for-a-Zoom-Meeting). For example, checkout the functionality of the [3Play Media app](https://marketplace.zoom.us/apps/d054_tATQRaGPKxfs7SPnw). Thanks, Tommy

[Zoom does however offer this feature natively.](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115004794983-Automatically-Transcribe-Cloud-Recordings-)

Thanks,  
Tommy
