# Recording

![Recording](./image.png)

---

## What does this demo do?

- Use [startRecording](https://docs.daily.co/reference#%EF%B8%8F-startrecording) to create a video and audio recording of your call. You can read more about Daily call recording (and the different modes and types) [here](https://docs.daily.co/reference#recordings)
- Supports both `cloud` and `local` recording modes (specified when creating the room or managed using the Daily dashboard)
- Coming soon: support different recording layouts / composites
- Coming soon: use the Daily REST API to retrieve a list of cloud recordings for the currently active room

**To turn on recording, you need to be on the Scale plan. There is also a per minute recording fee for cloud recording.**

Please note: this demo is not currently mobile optimised

### Getting started

```
# set both DAILY_API_KEY and DAILY_DOMAIN
mv env.example .env.local

yarn
yarn workspace @custom/recording dev
```

### How does this demo work?

This example introduces a new [RecordingProvider](./contexts/RecordingProvider.js) context that listens for the various [recording events](https://docs.daily.co/reference#recording-started), counts down to begin a recording and stops a currently active recording. We also introduce a new recording modal and tray button.

Remember to follow the best practises detailed in [the documentation](https://docs.daily.co/reference#recordings) to avoid lengthy or stuck recordings.
