CallAutomationClient client = new CallAutomationClientBuilder()
.connectionString("<connection-string>")
.buildClient();
Legacy Recording
// OLD WAY
StartRecordingOptions options = new StartRecordingOptions(serverCallId)
.setRecordingStateCallbackUri(callbackUri);
StartCallRecordingResult result = client.startRecording(options);
String recordingId = result.getRecordingId();
client.pauseRecording(recordingId);
client.resumeRecording(recordingId);
client.stopRecording(recordingId);
// NEW WAY - see azure-communication-callautomation skill
