    Hi @shahzadds , can you share what recording type you are using? Did you experience any network issues at the time the recordings stopped?

    In addition to what Joey asked, when these recordings fail - is the room being kept idle? i.e. do all participants have their camera/microphone muted?

    There is an idling-out behavior if you're using our server-based recording options that you might need to look out for. By default, if no participant is sending video or audio in the call for ~5 minutes, then the recording automatically stops. You can adjust this duration by setting the 'minIdleTimeOut' property in startRecording(): https://docs.daily.co/reference/daily-js/instance-methods/start-recording#control-cloud-recording-layouts
