# Pause a room recording

`POST /rooms/{id}/record/pause`

Replaces the room mix with silence on the active recording until `/record/resume` is called. When multi-channel recording is active, every per-participant track is paused too (including tracks for participants who join while paused). Idempotent: returns `status: already_paused` when already paused.

## Response `200`

Recording paused (or already paused)

- StatusResponse
  - `instance_id` string — Instance identifier
  - `status` string, required

## Other responses
