@arfa.ahmed , Thank you for posting in the Zoom developer forum. I’m happy to help. Just to confirm, are you developing with the Zoom Video SDK? If so, it is indeed possible to record sessions. As for your second question, you have several options for saving the recording on your server: you can either get the recording via webhook or record the session yourself with a bot. Please refer to this helpful article for more information on the recording options. ## Recording options > **[Video SDK - web - Cloud recording](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/video-sdk/web/recording/)** > > The Zoom Developer Platform is an open platform that allows third-party developers to build applications and integrations upon Zoom’s video-first unified communications platform. If you have any follow-up questions, please let us know. ---

Intro: We are a tele consultation company based in UAE. We want to record the video between doctor-patient. Thank you for the promo response. Although I have the following questions and it would be great if you can address them. 1 - As per the law the we are force to keep the recoding data inside UAE servers and not any other country server. Can you assist me if you have any servers in UAE to save our recordings? 2 - Regarding the 1 TB recording data if we all the data has been used within 3rd week then how about our consultations in the later part of the month? Will it be recorded? ---

The Video SDK provides billing APIs that enable you to subscribe to a Zoom add-on plan for a subaccount through an API request. It’s important to note that to use this feature, you need to have a Pro or higher plan with the Master account option enabled. Additionally, the subaccount must be a paid account, with the billing charges paid by the Master account. For more information about add-on plans, please refer to the screenshots below. # [Subscribe to Video SDK Cloud Recording add-on plan](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/rest/other-references/plans/#video-sdk-plans) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/3/e/3e16ef79b3ebf17d37102e27b5218b931bf9bc9c.png) ---

Thanks for clarification regarding the datacenter. Although can you please assist me on the following queries 1 - For now we are using VideoSdk of Zoom. Do we need to upgrade our account in order to activate zoom recording. Or it will be available in the videosdk and we only need to pay 100$ for 1TB of recordings. 2 - Regarding 1TB if we move video recording to our servers every week then can you delete it from your data center so that we don’t run out space issues. 3 - Can you please tell us how many minutes of recording can we have in 1TB? ---

Actually, this can be accomplished programmatically. You can use Video SDK Cloud Recording and [automatically move the recordings to their cloud storage service](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/rest/reference/video-sdk/events/#operation/session.recording_completed)and then [delete the recording stored on Zoom to reduce cost](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/rest/reference/video-sdk/events/#operation/session.recording_deleted). > **[Video SDK - web - Cloud recording](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/video-sdk/web/recording/)** > > The Zoom Developer Platform is an open platform that allows third-party developers to build applications and integrations upon Zoom’s video-first unified communications platform. > [@arfa.ahmed](#): > > 3 - Can you please tell us how many minutes of recording can we have in 1TB?

I have enabled the datacenter but it still shows SIN. We want to make sure that all the session data will be in UAE datacenter. ---

@arfa.ahmed , Upon looking into this further, it looks like you did not set up the datacenter. Please double-check that you’ve enabled the datacenter region for session data. ![D4734811-5C68-4A85-AD5D-B2D2EE01110F](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/3/9/394db295cad6baa92473e597969785ee2ed7f4f9.png) ---

@arfa.ahmed , It looks like the UAE is currently not supported. Please submit a feature request to add this region under the datacenter category. ---
