I plan on building a web-based app where users can record videos, store them on our own cloud repository, and allow other people to watch them. I read the Zoom Video SDK docs and I didn’t find any information on it. Does Zoom Video SDK allow the users to record the video?

Thank you.

Hey @kpak ,

The [Video SDK](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/video/introduction) does not have recording features, however, you could [implement them yourself.](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/record-a-session/48988/2)

That being said, the [Client SDK](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/introduction) does have recording features.

Thanks,  
Tommy

Hey @kpak ,

I wanted to share this article on how you can record an HTML Canvas. This approach could be used to record a Video SDK Session:

> **[How to record a canvas element](https://medium.com/@amatewasu/how-to-record-a-canvas-element-d4d0826d3591)**
>
> This is a really short tutorial in order to show you how to record a canvas element properly

Thanks,  
Tommy

Updating this thread, Video SDK now has Cloud Recording features:

> **[Cloud recording](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/video/web/essential/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.

Thanks,
