**Description** I found it a struggle to get a zoom bot written when I first started out even after following the available zoom tutorials. I wanted to do the simple task of joining a meeting and locally recording participant audio. I tried searching for tutorials on it but didn’t find much. I eventually produced what I needed after a few days of reading through the SDK examples and experimenting. I was hoping to produce a blog post and a git repo with some code to make it easier for others to get started; however, I don’t want to violate TOS. Am I able to share the code that I wrote which interacts with the SDK? I obviously wouldn’t include any SDK header files or library; just the steps on how to add them. What are the rules I need to follow? ---

@hunter1 , totally understand that it was difficult to capture and process the raw data from Zoom - audio and video are especially tricky to work with. It might be worth checking out [Recall.ai](https://www.recall.ai/) that has a hosted solution of this so it’s just a simple API call instead of you needing to spin up Windows containers at scale. ---

I was asking about the rules for publicly releasing my tutorial and my code for how to do this, wasn’t asking for help on it thanks though! ---
