# Recordings — capture, storage, retrieval

> Capture the meeting audio, store it in your own infrastructure, and retrieve it over the API — including capture-now-transcribe-later, where the audio file is the deliverable.

**Can Vexa record a meeting and let me fetch the audio?**

**Today:** Yes. Recording is gated separately from transcription, a bot can capture without transcribing at all, and the recording is retrievable over the API.

**Sponsorable:** no — this one is shipped.

*Capture the audio, keep it where you put it, fetch it over the API.*
