# Recordings - overview

> Using our REST API, the /recordings endpoints let a developer manage, create, and download recordings of meetings in their Daily rooms.

You can [list](/reference/rest-api/recordings/list-recordings) and [delete](/reference/rest-api/recordings/delete-recording) with the Daily API.

We support `"local"` recording to a participant's own device in addition to three cloud-based recording types: `"cloud"`, `"cloud-audio-only"`, and `"raw-tracks"`.

If you will be recording your calls, you might be interested in monitoring the status of those recordings. Daily's recording events help you monitor that and respond accordingly.

## The "recording" object

A recording object represents a single saved recording. See [recording configuration](/reference/rest-api/recordings/get-recording) for a full list of possible properties.
