## Update a meeting recording

**post** `/v1/meetings/{id}/recordings/{recordingId}`

A recording is one session of the meeting: its transcript and, when there is one, its audio or video. Recordings come from the Lightfield notetaker, Gong, Granola, or an upload. Only uploaded recordings can be created or given media through the API. Changes only what is sent. `isCanonical: true` makes the recording the meeting primary, for any provider. `mediaFileId` adds or replaces the audio or video of an uploaded recording; a replaced file is deleted. Notetaker, Gong and Granola recordings cannot be given media. Only meeting participants and workspace owners may update.

Supports idempotency via the `Idempotency-Key` header.

### Path Parameters

- `id: string`

  Unique identifier of the meeting.

- `recordingId: string`

  Unique identifier of the recording.

### Body Parameters

- `isCanonical: optional boolean`

  `true` pins this as the meeting's primary recording. Works for every provider, but the recording needs a transcript file (`transcript` is not null). `false` is rejected: to move the primary, set it on another recording.

- `mediaFileId: optional string`

  File ID of a completed upload with purpose `meeting_recording`. Adds or replaces the media; a replaced file is deleted. Uploaded recordings only.

### Returns

- `MeetingUpdateRecordingResponse object { id, isCanonical, media, 4 more }`

  - `id: string`

    Unique identifier of the recording.

  - `isCanonical: boolean`

    Whether this is the meeting's primary recording, the one summaries and `$transcript` use.

  - `media: object { mimeType, url }`

    Playable audio or video. Null when the recording has none, such as a Granola note, a private Gong call, a failed notetaker recording or an upload without media.

    - `mimeType: string`

      MIME type of the media, when known.

    - `url: string`

      Short-lived download URL for the audio or video. Anyone with the URL can download it until it expires, so fetch it again when needed rather than storing it.

  - `provider: "RECALL" or "GONG" or "GRANOLA" or "UPLOAD"`

    Where the recording came from: `RECALL` (Lightfield notetaker), `GONG`, `GRANOLA`, or `UPLOAD`.

    - `"RECALL"`

    - `"GONG"`

    - `"GRANOLA"`

    - `"UPLOAD"`

  - `recordedAt: string`

    When the provider recorded it, in ISO 8601. Null if unknown.

  - `recordedBy: string`

    Display name of who recorded or uploaded it. Not a member reference.

  - `transcript: object { fileId }`

    The transcript text file. Null for older notetaker recordings.

    - `fileId: string`

      File ID of the transcript. Read its text through `GET /v1/files/{id}/url`.
