Record call sessions for later playback, compliance, or training purposes. Recordings are stored server-side and can be accessed through the CometChat dashboard.
Recording must be enabled for your CometChat app. Contact support if you need to enable this feature.

​
Auto-Start Recording

Configure recording to start automatically when the session begins: 
const callSettings = {
  autoStartRecording: true,
  // ... other settings
};

await CometChatCalls.joinSession(callToken, callSettings, container);

​
Manual Recording Control

​
Start Recording

Begin recording during an active call: 
CometChatCalls.startRecording();

​
Stop Recording

Stop the current recording: 
CometChatCalls.stopRecording();

​
Recording Events

​
Recording Started

Fired when recording begins: 
CometChatCalls.addEventListener("onRecordingStarted", () => {
  console.log("Recording started");
  // Update UI to show recording indicator
});

​
Recording Stopped

Fired when recording ends: 
CometChatCalls.addEventListener("onRecordingStopped", () => {
  console.log("Recording stopped");
  // Update UI to hide recording indicator
});

​
Participant Recording Events

Monitor when other participants start or stop recording: 
CometChatCalls.addEventListener("onParticipantStartedRecording", (participant) => {
  console.log(`${participant.name} started recording`);
});

CometChatCalls.addEventListener("onParticipantStoppedRecording", (participant) => {
  console.log(`${participant.name} stopped recording`);
});

​
Recording Button Visibility

By default, the recording button is hidden. To show it: 
const callSettings = {
  hideRecordingButton: false,
  // ... other settings
};

​
Listen for Recording Button Clicks

Intercept recording button clicks for custom behavior: 
CometChatCalls.addEventListener("onRecordingToggleButtonClicked", () => {
  console.log("Recording button clicked");
  // Add custom logic like confirmation dialogs
});

​
Accessing Recordings

Recordings are available through:
  • The CometChat Dashboard under your app’s call logs
  • The Call Logs API to retrieve call details including recording URLs
