Spreed: [feature request] call recording

Created on 2 Oct 2018 · 5Comments · Source: nextcloud/spreed

I'm not sure if it is on considered, but video and audio recording of calls would be a great feature.
In https://github.com/nextcloud/spreed/issues/687 it was mentioned, but without further attention.

When whiteboard integration (https://github.com/nextcloud/spreed/issues/1167) is done, even more.

Sorry to dig this issue up, but you could use MediaRecorder-API to record the stream as of the perspective of a user.

That is simply not possible because we are dealing with peer2peer connections.
This can only be achieved by a MCU unit, which receives all audio/video signals and combines them into one stream.

But it is sadly totally out of scope for our php-based app.

This is rather a feature for a desktop app. Even when using a MCU, a conference could be distributed across multiple MCU servers so there is not a single point that has access to all streams (only one of the clients in the meeting would have that).

Fwiw, recording calls is an essential feature that I am depending on for my nextcloud use-case.

The two alternatives I have personally considered are not optimal:

Bringing in another software into the stack for only calls [with jitsi, which can record].
Record a call client-side with one user [with OBS, but many downsides compared to server-side recording].

I would be thrilled to see this feature worthy of some additional research and development!!
