Hello  
I am going to integrate zoom recording into my React.JS web application  
I found this solution here

> [@How to add recording functionality in my video calls](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/how-to-add-recording-functionality-in-my-video-calls/4978):

> Hello, I’m following this guide [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/Web-Client-SDK/getting-started/integrate-the-sdk](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/Web-Client-SDK/getting-started/integrate-the-sdk) How can I record the video meetings? I found in the documentation section some related functions ZoomMtg.record({ record: true }); and ZoomMtg.showRecordFunction({ show: false }); but I don’t know how to integrate them in the sample app. Should they be inside the ZoomMtg.init function or what. It’s also worth mentioning that the video call is taking place …

I can see record button when I join the meeting, but doesnt record automatically after join meeting  
I want to record the meetings automatically when I click start meeting

But after join the meeting, I am getting this error  
1. {method: “record”, status: false, errorCode: 1, errorMessage: “Current user is neither host nor cohost”, result: null}

```
  1. errorCode: 1
  2. errorMessage: "Current user is neither host nor cohost"
  3. method: "record"
  4. result: null
  5. status: false
  6. __proto__ : Object

```

My account is pro paid account and co-host

ZoomSDK version is “@zoomus/websdk”: “^1.9.0”

How can I fix it?  
Please help me

Thanks

Hey @zeeshanahmed ,

This means that the user trying to record the meeting does not have the proper [plan](https://zoom.us/pricing), or [permissions](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115001078646-Using-role-management).

Double check that the user / participant is allowed to record the meeting:

Let me know if that helps! 🙂
