I am facing an issue with the recording access without login. Prior I was able to download and watch recorded meeting video without login.  
But from past few days this is showing me “Enter the access password”. This comes when i hit download url in browser or play url in browser.

My requirement is to download the video with the download url. I have written api to get the download url. Now tell the process to download the video programatically. As I told you prior there was no authentication. But now it needs authentication.

Please tell me as soon as possible. So that I can solve this issue for my platoform.

Hey @ayushmaan, to access a password protected cloud recording, add an access\_token parameter to the download URL with a JWT. For example:

`https://api.zoom.us/recording/download/{ recording }?access_token={ JWT }`

@michael.zoom Our app plays cloud recordings stored by Zoom using the HTML5 player and adds an interactive overlay in the bottom-left corner. For example:

- [https://themoment.tv/playlist/26403/moment/259361](https://themoment.tv/playlist/26403/moment/259361)

This works fine if it’s my recording it for non-password protected recordings. Please help us learn how to prompt the user for a password? Is there an embeddable Zoom player that includes this functionality or an oAuth-like call we can make?

EDITED: I changed the link and turned on the password for that recording.

Hi, @baohanhai

Sure. We have software ([zoom.theMoment.tv](http://theMoment.tv/live/zoom)) that lets you bookmark key moments in Zoom recordings with a simple button on your phone. Some apps, like Asana, Jira, and Github automatically bookmark for you.

Then you can replay and share your moments. If you have our [Chrome browser extension](http://j.mp/moment_chrome_1), bookmarks take you to the recording on the Zoom site. But if you don’t have the extension, we get the mp4 source of your recording and play it with a HTML5 player.

Let me know what you think!
