Thanks for reaching out, Pavan. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.

how to edit the recording button in livkit meeting

Thanks — I can help with that. Quick questions to narrow the right steps: • Are you using the prebuilt LiveKit Meeting UI (components package) or a custom UI you built yourself? • Which platform/SDK are you using (React web, React Native, iOS, Android)? • What do you want to change about the recording button — hide it, change its label/icon, change behavior (start/stop recording with custom logic), or swap it for your own control? • If you see an error or unexpected behavior, can you share the relevant code snippet (component file) or any console logs? Answer those and I’ll give concise, step‑by‑step instructions.

i am using react library and prebuilt LiveKit Meeting UI

Thanks — since you’re using the React prebuilt Meeting UI, here are concise options and steps to customize the recording button. Pick the one that matches what you want to do. Options • Hide the recording button entirely. • Replace the recording button with your own control (custom icon, label, or behavior). • Keep the built-in control but override its behavior (call your own start/stop logic). Before you start • Locate where you import and render the prebuilt Meeting UI (usually from

@livekit/components-react

or your project’s wrapped Meeting component). 1) Hide the recording button • Render the Meeting UI without the recording control. If the prebuilt props include a controls or toolbar config, pass a prop to disable recording. If no such prop exists, hide via CSS targeting the recording button’s class or data attribute:

/* quick CSS override */
.lk-record-button { display: none !important; }

• If you prefer a React approach, wrap the Meeting component and remove/hide the child control after inspecting the DOM class or data attribute. 2) Replace the recording button with your own control • Render the Meeting UI but do not render the built-in toolbar (or hide just the recording button per step 1). • Add your own button somewhere in the UI and implement start/stop behavior by calling your recording API or server endpoint. • Example pattern: a. Add a custom button component in the same container as Meeting. b. On click, call your backend to start/stop the recording (or call the Room/Server API that triggers recording). c. Update UI state to reflect recording status. 3) Override behavior while keeping the built-in button • If the prebuilt component exposes callbacks or event props (e.g.,

onAction

or

onControlClick

), attach a handler to intercept the recording action and run your logic. • If no callback exists, hide the built-in button and create a replacement that uses the same appearance but calls your custom handler. What I need from you to give exact code • The exact package import line you use for the Meeting UI (example:

@livekit/components-react

or a different wrapper). • The JSX where you render the Meeting component (small snippet). • Whether your recording is handled by LiveKit’s recording API or your own backend. Tell me those and I’ll provide a precise code example for hiding, replacing, or overriding the recording button in your app.

i want my custon button out side setting scection

Thanks — I’ll help you add a custom recording button outside the settings section. Quick clarifying question before I give exact code: • Do you want this button to call LiveKit’s built-in recording (e.g., start/stop server-side recording via your backend) or trigger a custom recording flow (client-side/your backend)? If you use LiveKit server-side recording, I can show how to hide the built-in button, place a button in your app shell, and call your recording endpoint (start/stop) and reflect state in the UI. If you use a custom flow, I’ll show how to wire the button to your logic instead. Tell me which recording method you’re using and paste the small JSX where you render the Meeting component (import line + component render). I’ll return a concise code example for hiding the default control and adding your external button wired to start/stop behavior.
