Hey @ibpd.dev

Thanks for posting on the Zoom Devforum! I am still learning, but I will try my best to help answer your question. 🙂

Checkout this related thread that may have the answer you are looking for:

> [@I cannot download the video at the download url](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/-/13131):

> I cannot download the video at the download url But some videos can be downloaded, some videos can’t be downloaded, in the recording Settings when the choice is to watch the rights to download, this question has been a long struggle for me.What is the fundamental difference between a Shared link and a playback link after recording?I’m not sure. Could you explain the difference?

If this thread did not help, please let us know by replying back here and someone from the Developer Relations team will get back to you shortly.

Thanks,
