Hello, We recently noticed a change that the file extension for a recording of a call is no longer included. The provided URL provides the file name. For example: https://.zoom.us/recording/download/aXrbiWSyQLCvLN3J90a5bpDD\_pdgDCRMi2VVynpyNboXxSnhiyXZljNPYgD8uiRB?access\_token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzUxMiJ9.eyJpc3MiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZW50Lnpvb20udXMiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiJPYTlmcVQwclNIdTRRZFVhRm1DSGt3IiwiYXVkIjoiTHRZN3NFYVJRYUNHTnpPcXk1R0VBIiwiZXhwIjoxNTY5NDU2MTIyNjgwLCJ1c2VySWQiOiJQMXVmNmxueFFxeVhONlNTLURRS3dRIn0.C-sCbdIQcbnl4DMxm\_GWq\_35lgtHUevQ\_s4WOjmRFg7leKGnPMZr1HXjx5rKZPqkpybhCEK98AjMsnf8tqa1NQ This URL was served from Zoom after recording completion. When reviewing the URL, it was noticed that there is no extension written within the address. How can we ensure Zoom provides the file extension in this case? ---

Hey @renang, I do not recall us ever including the file extension in the download\_url. If you need to know what the file type is, there is a `file_type` value in the payload of the [recording endpoints](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/cloud-recording/recordingslist) and [webhooks](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/webhook-reference/recording-events/recording-completed). Thanks, Tommy ---
