How to find out if a room is recording?

Hello!
We are trying to solve the problem of determining whether recording is turned on in a room or not

Please tell me how this can be done?

Assuming you’re talking of the VideoRoom, there’s no way to know, because there’s no concept of “room recording”. It’s individual publishers that are recorded, each to separate files.

This concept exists in the context of creating a room with the parameter

{
request: “create”
room: room ID,
record: true
}

Participants are connected to the room, but at the front we do not provide the ability to change the status of an entry from publications.

They connect to the room, publish and subscribe to other publishers and may not realize that the entire room is being recorded, so you need to somehow let them know.

Since you create the room, you can notify them about the room being recorded out of band. Again, the record: true doesn’t mean the room will be recorded: it just means we’ll record each participant that joins by default, but all recordings will go to separate files. There’s no concept of room recordings. Mixing to a single file is up to external scripts too, for instance.
