How to retrieve the raw stream or recording

Hey @tcabot ,

@tcabot

Do you mean that I need to record them in the client side of each participant in the session?

That is correct. The Video SDK just offers video and audio streaming, and does not have a recording feature. This is something we can consider adding in the future, but for now, you will need to implement recording on your end. Example:

Record a session

I’m not seeing recording or raw stream capture available on the Web Video SDK. There are methods for it on the mobile and desktop SDKs, though. One option you could use is to capture the canvas that you are drawing the videos on using HTMLCanvasElement.captureStream(). You’ll have to manage all of the recording logic yourself, though.

@tcabot

And how do I retrieve the raw stream for that methods that you posted there?

You can grab the stream with the stream.startVideo(); function, example: https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/video/web/essential/video#capture-video

Is that what you are looking for? Perhaps you can share your use case so I can offer a better solution.

Thanks,
Tommy
