Recording API is not working. When I hit the recording start API then get successfully response from janus server. Then I again hit the list room API and check that room so the recording property is not updating so can you please check this issue. Please find attachment for your proofs. I am using janus version “version”: 1103, “version\_string”: “1.1.3” ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/janus/original/1X/bf8c25a459dcce398f9f556b6f9979bf7ba2feed.png) ---

While I’m not experienced enough to answer this particular case, I can tell you that I have been using the demo recently, and recording works there. Have you tried comparing both implementations? ---

Pkease don’t use screenshots to report issues: I just don’t look at them, especially when there’s text I’m supposed to look at. Share the messages/log snippets as code blocks instead. That said, check the Janus logs when you attempt to start recording: it may be a simple permission issue, for instance, something the logs would notify. ---

The `edit` command is _not_ what you use as a recording API. Please read the docs more carefully. ---

@lorenzo Sorry, I am using wrong API to start/stop the recording. The correct way to do this is ```auto { "janus": "message", "body": { "request": "enable_recording", "room":609738503088230, "record":true }, "transaction": "Zc0V36KBCKiV", "token":"1688469855,janus,janus.plugin.videoroom:Sc0RrnXv8o1KVPlN4POjHwXIBFk=" } ``` Thanks for your support @lorenzo .
