  • Hosts - Since local recording does not support mobile devices, please inform your guests ahead of time if applicable.
  • A new recording file will start if your guest is removed from the stream and added back.
  • If your recording is interrupted within the first 10-15 seconds of your live stream, it will not be uploaded due to server requirements. (file size less than 5Mb)
