Greetings,

I am trying to figure out how to record the videos of my meetings by using Video SDK and purchased pay as you go plan.

After doing a little research  
([Video SDK - web - Cloud recording](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/video-sdk/web/recording/))

Understood It is mandatory to buy a **Video SDK Recording** plan under billing section.

My doubts are

1. Should I purchase this plan in order to record my videos?
2. This plan is for 1TB and it is a recurring plan. Is there any solution to avoid purchasing this plan and pay as my storage increases.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @mehraj ,

Thank you for your question. Purchasing this plan would be the best option for you to record your sessions. At this time, there is no pay-as-you-go option for the recording plan.

Thanks,  
Rehema
