Azure Communication Service Video Call recording - startRecordingAsync requires callbackURI

Starting a recording of a video call requires a callbackUri. What do I use for this callbackUri? Anything I can find on it is very vague. If it is a url that I'm supposed to build the api, what does it pass in? What response is it expecting back? How do I handle using localhost for testing?

using Azure.Communication.CallingServer;
...
var startRecordingResponse = await callingServerClient
                .InitializeServerCall(serverCallId)
                .StartRecordingAsync(                   
                   new Uri("https://what_the_heck.com"),
                   RecordingContent.AudioVideo,
                   RecordingChannel.Mixed,
                   RecordingFormat.Mp4
                ).ConfigureAwait(false);
Solution

  • I added an azure function just to see what was being sent. When I pointed the callbackUrl to the azure function, the call worked. It sent some json, but I didn't have to do anything with it.
