**Description/Error**  
Question/Clarification. Does the new webhook for recordings only fire for cloud recordings? For example, if user has the meeting set to record local, I would like to still get recording started, recording completed, etc. Will the webhook still fire for local recording?

**Which Endpoint/s or App Types**  
webhooks - recording

Hey @klhdevone, good question!

Yes, our [recording webhooks](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/webhook-reference/recording-events/recording-started) are only for [Cloud Recordings](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/203741855-Cloud-Recording).

As a word around, you could build your own webhook that watches for your local download destination.

thanks! when zoom saves a local recording is there anything in the name or metadata that would allow me to link it to the zoom meeting id? I like the idea of monitoring a folder but how would I know which zoom meeting the recording is for?

Hey @klhdevone,

Yes! The file name includes the date and the meetingID!
