Partner Ownership of Videos
Overview​
With the partner ownership feature is turned on, all videos made through the recordSDK on a partner’s application will be saved to the partner’s workspace on Loom. This means that the partner will manage the video, not the end user.
Since the partner owns all the videos created, the partner will be directly billed for the recordSDK usage. The end-users will not have to create a Loom account or pay for the videos recorded or stored.

Requirements​
- Ensure that you have created a “SDK Custom” application on the developer portal.
- Implement secure key pair authentication for the backend. This is required for SDK Custom applications.
- Ensure you’re onÂ
@loomhq/record-sdk version 2.35.4 or above.
Tracking the videos recorded in your workspace​
Currently, there is no API or GUI for the partner to manage the videos they own. A delete API will be provided soon, with other management tools to follow.
In the meantime, you can use the events associated with user actions. The recording-complete event can be used to track the videos recorded in your space. Here’s how to add event listeners.
