Hey @cj.kumar,

Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. The recordings can’t be displayed in an iframe so the best option is likely to upload the files to storage accessible by your Web App.

You can subscribe to the [Recording Completed Webhook](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/webhook-reference/recording-events/recording-completed) and use the `download_token` with the `download_url` in order to download the recordings as they become available.

The easiest solution may be to upload the videos to YouTube and embed those videos in your Web App. This is covered in a different post here:

> Hey @Itomic, @sara.banks We are working on a solution like that. In the meantime, your best bet is to upload the video to youtube and then [embed the video to your site](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780?hl=en). Youtube is more optimized for embedding then the Zoom recording link. Thanks, Tommy

Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂

Thanks,  
Max
