Feature Request

The platform is great, but it would be great if it had a recording feature. Please do add that Functionality.

Hey, thank you very much for this feature request.

Video recording is a really huge feature. Here is the recording process of BigBlueButton described. I think they are saving everything individually (chat, screen sharing, audio, whiteboard etc.) and merging it on playback. This has several disadvantages, it's very slow and is not flexible at all. For example, you cannot download it as a video (for example for offline viewing) as there does not exist "one video". Also, when adding new features (like a whiteboard etc.), you always have to adjust the recording format.

I think the best way to implement recording would be to just screen record a browser instance (maybe with a special layout mode) in a Docker container, but I'm not sure whether this is actually viable (maybe someone else has a better idea, how do you render a video?).

For now, I don't think recording will be added to Strive soon as there also does exist a good workaround, just use a video recording software like Open Broadcaster locally.
