videoRecordingURL missing for multiple calls, even...
# support
d
we keep running into this issue for multiple calls. the assistants we create have video enabled, but often the videoRecordingURL is missing. this is required for our product, so the entire call becomes unusable when this is missing also, user is unable to make VAPI call with camera off, so camera is always enabled example call id of where this happened: fa05633d-01f5-4da4-bb26-2862b9343bc6 assistant id: c95eb7b4-f3fb-45f9-8013-6334c238c7df other calls with the same assistant have the videoRecordingURL, but the one above doesn't have it https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1372232507214528572/1372232507881295892/Screenshot_2025-04-29_at_4.50.52_PM.png?ex=6826069c&is=6824b51c&hm=a9dc5f07a02ec0abfcbc8fbd43072e5cb9c13c1f3734eb8a168a5fcec0aee2bf& https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1372232507214528572/1372232508229419018/Screenshot_2025-04-29_at_4.51.02_PM.png?ex=6826069c&is=6824b51c&hm=e786a2caceda6b143beacbed050023c8ef78587edc495ee7f604bd4dc465ac69&

This is a known issue: sometimes the
videoRecordingEnabled
flag is not set to true for specific calls, even if video recording is enabled for the assistant, which results in a missing
videoRecordingURL
. The Vapi team is aware of this inconsistency, but there is no documented fix or workaround yet. As a next step, you can check the
artifact_plan
for each call to confirm if
videoRecordingEnabled
was set to true, and report affected call IDs to Vapi support for further investigation. Source: - [Vapi Discord thread on videoRecordingURL inconsistencies](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1340613473381519374)
This issue can occur if the
videoRecordingEnabled
property was not actually set to
true
for the specific call, even if it appears enabled in the dashboard. To troubleshoot, check the call's artifact plan in the backend and confirm that
"videoRecordingEnabled": true
is present for the affected call. If it's set to
false
, toggling the recording switch in the UI may not have taken effect. This verification step can help identify if the problem is with the call configuration or a deeper platform issue ([source](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1340613473381519374)).

Hey! To help track down this issue, could you share: - The call ID - When exactly this happened (the timestamp) - What response you expected to get - What response you actually got instead This would really help us figure out what went wrong!
