Hi,

I am using the Zoom Phone API [Zoom Phone API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/phone/methods#operation/getPhoneRecordingsByCallIdOrCallLogId)  
to get the phone recording details. I have seen that these recordings(downloaded using the download\_url from api response) are in mp3 format.  
My question is are these files always in mp3 format? Or can these formats change? Is there any documentation about this?

Hey @puneeth.ranganath  
As far as I know, these recordings are always in mp3 format 🙂
