EnableX Video Call Recording
This feature is available as a standard feature on the Video API & SDK platform, which can be configured for auto-recording or a developer can also invoke APIs to start the recording on-demand. Let’s learn more about auto and on-demand video call recording:
- Auto-Recording
You can configure a meeting room with { settings: { auto_recording: true }} during Room Creation to automatically start recording a video call session. The recording can be stopped anytime by invoking the stopRecord() method.
- On-Demand Recording
Using the EnxRoom.startRecord() method, one can start recording the video session. With EnxRoom.stopRecord() method, the session can be stopped.
There is no limit to the number of times one can start/stop recording, which is a handy feature.
Types of Video Recording Files
- Individual participant (Stream)
Users’ stream are recorded individually and can be made available for download in the .MKV format.
- Transcoded Re-playable Session
These are the files created as single composite video file from individual participant’s streams, which are available for download in the .MP4 format
Here it is to be noted that individual session recordings are available for download immediately post-session. However, it can take up to 45 minutes to transcribe and create a single, playable MP4 file.
