I see the docs on accessing recordings (https://www.twilio.com/docs/api/video/recordings-resource), but I don't see any examples of actually setting up the recordings. Thanks.

EDIT: I see default settings can be configured here (https://www.twilio.com/console/video/configure), but how does one do this programmatically?

Twilio developer evangelist here.

To use recording in Twilio Video you need to create a group room via the REST API and set the RecordParticipantsOnConnect parameter to true. The minimal code for this is:

client = Twilio::REST::Client.new(api_key_sid, api_key_secret)

group_room = client.video.rooms.create(
  unique_name: 'RecordedRoom',
  type: 'group',
  record_participants_on_connect: true
)

You'd then need to join your participants to the room named "RecordedRoom" and they will be recorded.

Let me know if that helps at all.

From one Phil to another, thanks. A follow-up question: how would I mute one user's tracks? I see how to do this for the Conversation API (twilio.com/docs/guides/video/tracks#mute-one), but not sure what changes for the Rooms API.
Hey Phil! To mute tracks you need to disable them. You can then enable the track again to unmute.
Great - thanks, @philnash. One more follow-up question on this, relating to status callbacks: stackoverflow.com/questions/46179234/…
Hey Phil, I'm actually having trouble— I put up an SO post with my code. That's here (stackoverflow.com/questions/47148499/…).
Sorry, I realize I linked to the wrong SO post— the right one's here: stackoverflow.com/questions/47148499/…
