My french is not so good :) but isn't that a notification that there is no access to your microphone?

[stephenstephen]

Yes, I do not have a microphone and webcam, but recording with dropbox works well even without microphone and webcam

[stephenstephen]

Does the local recording need microphone and webcam to work?

[damencho]

The recording to dropbox is done on another machine, I think for this one you need as this is a local recording from your microphone, if there is no mic where will it get the input from.
This feature records locally and the other participants do the same and then send the initiator the files which he then can combine.

[stephenstephen]

OK thanks a lot

[stephenstephen]

Even with a microphone, there is no answer :(

VM32:37 [features/local-recording] : Failed to start local recording. undefined

[damencho]

These needs more debugging, cannot give you any advice at the moment.
Are you trying to start it when there is more than one participant in the room?

[stephenstephen]

I tested on two participants

Hi, I also have the same problem, I can not record the video locally in my laptop,

[damencho]

Local recording is audio-only.

[stephenstephen]

Is that so.
But in my case, even the audio does not work, there is no response on click the link Start recording.

[rjimmya777]

Same for me, voice recording does not work :(

[damencho]

Hey, @ztl8702 can you take a look?

[ztl8702]

@damencho
I think the code for local recording might have eroded over time -- because I didn't write tests for it. But I will take a look within this week.

[damencho]

Thanks

[stephenstephen]

Thanks you

So I just tested locally (built from master) with macOS 10.15 and Chrome 77.0.3865.120, and local recording works for me.

@stephenstephen Can you provide more details: your browser version, OS version, and which version of jitsi-meet you were running (was it self-deployed or using the public server?)

(Meanwhile let me investigate why the error would be undefined)
https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/5a934c071a5cbe64de275a25d0ed62d8193cdd03/react/features/local-recording/controller/RecordingController.js#L587

[stephenstephen]

I'm using Chrome Version 71.0.3578.98 on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS with https://meet.jit.si/

[ztl8702]

And how did you override config.js to enable local recording? Was it by embedding meet.jit.si in an iframe and setting configOverwrite?

EDIT: ^ I believe that's what you attempted to do. That's unsupported at the moment.

I can reproduce your issue now. The _real problem_ is that I never tested or designed local recording to work under Jitsi External API. The only set up for local recording that has been tested is to deploy your own Jitsi Meet instance and modify config.js on the server. I would recommend you do that for now.

Meanwhile, it might be nice to make local recording work for folks using the External API. But let me first figure out why it fails. I suspect something to do with browser API limitations inside an iframe.

Here is my source code

const domain = 'meet.jit.si';
const options = {
    roomName: 'Meeting25',
    parentNode: document.querySelector('#meet'),
    onload : function(e){
        //
    },
    interfaceConfigOverwrite: {
        SETTINGS_SECTIONS: [ 'devices', 'language', 'calendar'],
        TOOLBAR_BUTTONS: [
            'microphone', 'camera', 'closedcaptions', 'desktop', 'fullscreen',
            'fodeviceselection', 'profile', 'chat',
            'etherpad', 'settings', 'raisehand',
            'videoquality', 'filmstrip', 'feedback',
            'tileview', 'localrecording',  'recording'
        ]
    },
    configOverwrite: {
         localRecording: {
             enabled: true,
         },
         fileRecordingsServiceEnabled: true,
         fileRecordingsEnabled: true,
     },

};

Localrecording works here. As mentioned above, it records only your own audio track. This should be probably explained in the recording dialog box before starting it. or rephrase

"dialogTitle": "Record your own audio track and mix later",

[SushantGautam]

Same problem here even you use public Jitsi server.
