# Recordings

<blockquote>The <strong>recordings</strong> operations are deprecated in 2.0. Use the <strong>/videos</strong> endpoints instead.</blockquote> 

Operations related to recordings, which are created through the ``/live_streams`` or ``/transcoders`` resources. The Wowza Video service can create MP4 recordings of your live streams and transcoded output. Recordings can be downloaded and saved locally. They're based on the highest-bitrate output rendition that Wowza Video generates from your video source. See [About recordings](https://www.wowza.com/docs/record-live-streams-and-transcoders#aboutREC) to learn more.
