# Creating Amazon Chime SDK media pipelines
<a name="media-pipelines"></a>

In this section, we show you how to create media pipelines, which are used to capture or stream an Amazon Chime SDK meeting. Before you begin, you must integrate your client application with the Amazon Chime SDK client library. For more information, see [Learn about the Amazon Chime SDK client libraries](mtgs-sdk-client-lib.md). For more information about media pipelines, see [Capture Amazon Chime SDK Meetings Using media pipelines](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs//business-productivity/capture-amazon-chime-sdk-meetings-using-media-capture-pipelines/) in the *AWS Business Productivity Blog*.

**Important**  
You and your end users must understand that recording Amazon Chime SDK meetings may be subject to laws or regulations regarding the recording of electronic communications. It is your and your end users’ responsibility to comply with all applicable laws regarding the recordings, including properly notifying all participants in a recorded session that the session or communication is being recorded, and obtain their consent.   
You and your end users are responsible for all content streaming using the media live connector service, and must ensure that such content does not violate the law, infringe or misappropriate the rights of any third party, or otherwise violate a material term of your agreement with Amazon.
