By default, calls are stored on a S3 bucket managed by Stream. Recordings stored on Stream S3 storage are retained for two weeks time, and then automatically deleted. If you want to keep your recordings for longer, you can use your own storage.

Stream supports the following external storage providers:

- [Amazon S3](#amazon-s3)
- [Google Cloud Storage](#google-cloud-storage)
- [Azure Blob Storage](#azure-blob-storage)

If you need support for a different storage provider, you can participate in the conversation [here](https://github.com/GetStream/protocol/discussions/371).

## Configuring recording storage

To use your own storage you need to:

1. Configure a new storage for your Stream application
2. Configure your call type(s) to use the new storage

Alternatively, you can also have the storage configured and use it for specific calls, while keeping existing calls on Stream storage.

<Tabs groupId="examples">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">

```js
// 1. create a new storage with all the required parameters
await serverSideClient.createExternalStorage({
bucket: 'my-bucket',
name: 'my-s3',
storage_type: 's3',
path: 'directory_name/',
aws_s3: {
s3_region: 'us-east-1',
s3_api_key: 'my-access-key',
s3_secret: 'my-secret',
},
});
// 2. update the call type to use the new storage
await serverSideClient.updateCallType('my-call-type', {
external_storage: "my-s3",
});
// 3. alternative, specify the storage when starting call recording
await call.startRecording({
recording_external_storage: "my-s3",
});

*Note*: recording are only uploaded to the storage when the call is completed or when `stop_recording` is called, whichever comes first.

### Multiple storage providers and default storage

You can configure multiple storage providers for your application. When starting a call recording, you can specify which storage provider to use. If you don't specify a storage provider, the default storage provider will be used.

When recording a call, this is the order in which the storage provider is selected:

1. If specified at call-level, use the storage provider specified for this call (`call.start_recording(storage_provider=...)`)
2. If specified at call-type-level, use the storage provider specified for this call type
3. Use Stream S3 storage

Note: all Stream applications have Stream S3 storage enabled by default. You can refer to this configuration with the `stream-s3` name.

```js
// 1. update the call type to use Stream S3 storage

await serverSideClient.updateCallType('my-call-type', {
external_storage: "stream-s3",
});

// 2. specify Stream S3 storage when starting call recording
await call.startRecording({
recording_external_storage: "my-storage",
});

## Storage configuration

| Name | Description | Required |
|---------------|-------------|----------|
| name | | |
| storage_type | | |
| bucket | | |
| custom_folder | | |

## Amazon S3

To use Amazon S3 as your storage provider, you have two authentication options: IAM role or API key.

If you do not specify the `s3_api_key` parameter, Stream will use IAM role authentication. In that case make sure to have the correct IAM role configured for your application.

| Name | Description | Required |
|------------|-------------|----------|
| s3_region | | yes |
| s3_api_key | | |
| s3_secret | | |

There are 2 ways to configure authentication on your S3 bucket:
- By providing a key and secret
- Or by having Stream's AWS account assume a role on your SQS queue.
With this option you omit the key and secret, but instead you set up a resource-based policy to grant Stream SendMessage permission on your S3 bucket.
The following policy needs to be attached to your queue (replace the value of Resource with the fully qualified ARN of you S3 bucket):


### Example S3 policy

```json
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Id": "StreamExternalStoragePolicy",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "ExampleStatement01",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"AWS": "arn:aws:iam::185583345998:root"
},
"Action": [
"s3:PutObject"
],
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::bucket_name/*",
"arn:aws:s3:::bucket_name"
]
}
]
}
```

## Google Cloud Storage

To use Google Cloud Storage as your storage provider, you need to send your (service account)[https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/service-accounts-create ] credentials as they are stored in your JSON file.

Note: you can find the JSON service account credentials in the Google Cloud Console (...)

<Tabs groupId="examples">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js
// 1. create a new storage using the service account credentials

await serverSideClient.createExternalStorage({
bucket: 'my-bucket',
name: 'my-gcs',
storage_type: 'gcs',
path: 'directory_name/',
"gcs_credentials": "content of the service account file",
});
```

<TabItem value="py" label="Python">

<TabItem value="curl" label="cURL">

```bash

curl -X POST https://video.stream-io-api.com/video/external_storage?api_key=${API_KEY} \
-H "Authorization: ${JWT_TOKEN}" -H "stream-auth-type: jwt" \
-d '{
"name": "my-storage",
"storage_type": "gcs",
"bucket": "my-bucket",
"custom_folder": "my-folder",
"gcs_credentials": "content of the service account file"
}'

```

</TabItem>
</Tabs>

### Example policy

```json
{
"bindings": [
{
"role": "roles/storage.objectCreator",
"members": ["service_account_principal_identifier"]
}
]
}
```

## Azure Blob Storage

To use Azure Blob Storage as your storage provider, you need to create a container and a service principal with the following parameters:

| Name | Description | Required |
|------------------|-------------|----------|
| abs_account_name | | yes |
| abs_account_key | | yes |
