When I get a recording I will get an array of recording files. What are the possible values of the `status` field here?

The documentation just says that it’s the status and it’s a string.

Hey @mads.ohm,

One of the statuses is:

`completed`

@shrijana.g, can you please share all the possible values and update the docs?

Thanks,  
Tommy

Hi @tommy and @mads.ohm,

Thank you for bringing this up. We only return recordings that are in the “completed” state. The status will always be “completed”. I will have it updated in the docs as well.
