Delete a Recording
Removes a recording with a specified recording ID. The deleted recording cannot be recovered. If a Compliance Officer deletes another user's recording, the recording will be inaccessible to regular users (host, attendees and shared), but will be still available to the Compliance Officer.
Only recordings of meetings hosted by the authenticated user can be deleted.
The temporaryDirectDownloadLinks of a recording which are retrieved by the Get Recording Details API are still available to Compliance Officers even if the recording has been deleted.
URI Parameters
A unique identifier for the recording.
Query Parameters
Email address for the meeting host. Only used if the user or application calling the API has the required admin-level meeting scopes. If set, the admin may specify the email of a user in a site they manage and the API will delete a recording of that user.
Body Parameters
Reason for deleting a recording. Only required when a Compliance Officer is operating on another user's recording.
Compliance Officer's explanation for deleting a recording. The comment can be a maximum of 255 characters long.
