I prefer using local recording due to the delay I experience when using cloud recording as mentioned in [How much time it takes for a meeting to get uploaded to zoom cloud?](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/how-much-time-it-takes-for-a-meeting-to-get-uploaded-to-zoom-cloud/6991) forum. However, in my current settings, I cannot seem to locate the option for local recording, even though I have already enabled cloud recording. Could someone please provide some guidance? Additionally, I am interested in setting up automatic recording that continues until the session ends. Thank you

HI @hari ,

Local Recording is not available for the **Video SDK** , only cloud recording. For your second point, you can customize the recording functionality within your application to have recording start when the session is started and end when the session is destroyed/ended.

Thanks,  
Rehema
