Recordings are pay-as-you-go. You’ll need to add your credit card details to your Daily account to enable it. Customizations only apply to rooms with cloud recordings enabled.
To customize the settings of a Daily recording you can use the start recording or update recording actions to do so. This guide walks you through how to update recording settings using recording events.

​
1. Add the daily events element

Place the Daily Events element on your page. A common practice is to place it inside a hidden popup that stays offscreen, allowing it to listen for events without being visible. Daily Events Element

​
2. Enable cloud recording for your room

When creating or updating a room, set the recording type to cloud. Customization options are only available for cloud recordings. Enable Cloud Recording

​
3. Join the room and start listening for events

After joining the room, make sure to add the “begin listening” action. This step is crucial to ensure Bubble can capture and process the recording events. We’ll listen for the recording-started event, which will trigger the update of your recording layout. Begin Listening Action

4. Add the recording-started event and the update recording action
