Workaround for cloud recording breakout rooms

Video SDK Web

Zoom Video SDK does not support Cloud Recording a breakout room. A suggested workaround has been to send participants to new video sdk sessions, instead of using the SubsessionClient. Can the Zoom Dev Team provide any further guidance or instruction or verification of this approach?

Are their known limitations of this approach? Do we have to build our own server database for re-direction, callback, broadcasting, chat, etc?

Our Use Case: EdTech classroom, small 4-25 person groups, split up to 3-4 person breakout sessions, and called back to main room, with cloud recording separate audio streams enabled.

Thanks!~

Hi @nventurino,

Similar to Zoom Meetings, cloud recording is not supported in breakout rooms, so there is no other workaround than what’s been suggested.

If I’m understanding your second question correctly, yes, you’ll need to implement your own functionality, in conjunction with Video SDK methods, to achieve these features (for example, use the Video SDK chat client to enable chat between users, but add in your own customization for how the chat is received, displayed, and stored).

Thanks,
Rehema
