Hi,  
I am trying to get event type “Recording Started” and “Recording Stopped” events from web hooks.

I created an marketplace web hook only app for a Basic free account. After adding url and selecting event types, using request bin I am successfully gets notifications for meeting start/end events but not recording events.

Steps:

1. Create a new meeting from basic account holder.  
2.Join same meeting from another user with same meeting id  
3.Initiate recording from basic account holder client. In my case it is a desktop client.

What are the requirements to get web hook Recording start/stopped event?  
Do Basic accounts support that feature?  
Cloud recording needs to be enabled as requirement?  
Where should we start recording from client or from a web api call in order to get web hook recording event?
