# Stop Recording

The **Stop Recording** node can be used in conjunction with either the [<mark style="color:purple;">Start node</mark>](https://studio.docs.ai.vonage.com/voice/nodes/start-node) or the [<mark style="color:purple;">Start recording node</mark>](https://studio.docs.ai.vonage.com/voice/nodes/actions/start-recording). It enables you to strategically stop recording at any point of the conversation allowing you to keep user data private.

If you choose to use this node as part of your agent, the reports for the agent will feature only one type of recording i.e. from the beginning of the call (or Start recording node if you have it enabled)

{% hint style="info" %}
*Once you have selected a point in the flow where you want to stop recording please note that you cannot choose to start recording the call again. You will, however, be able to see the transcription of the full call. You can only use 1 Stop recording node within your virtual assistant.*
{% endhint %}

### Here’s how to use it:-

**Drag and Drop the node to the desired location in the flow**

Drag and drop the Stop Recording node from the Toolbar onto the canvas. Connect it to wherever you want to stop the call recording.

You can use this node multiple times in the flow including subflows.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://studio.docs.ai.vonage.com/voice/nodes/actions/stop-recording.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
