Recording for Agora Video Conferencing

#1

Hi community,

is it also possible to install the recording for Agora Video Conferencing? In the zeroquode documentation & demo version in Bubble I only found the recording function in the agora_streamer, i.e. for video streaming.

Appreciate your advice!

Best,
Armin

Hello,
Thanks for reaching out.

Unfortunately, there is no possibility to record the Video Conference, using this plugin.
As you mentioned, Agora Streaming & Video Conferencing plugin can record in streaming mode and choose between the camera and screen sharing.

We’ve taken into consideration the possibility to improve this plugin in future updates.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Ecaterina,

Thanks for getting back!

I am actually even wondering whether it makes more sense to use the Agora Connector or the Agora Streamer for my app.

The set up is the following:

Each mentor and mentee should have a unique meeting name to jump on a call, i.e. apart from the admin, no one else should be able to join the conversation.

The call should be recorded + sent to the mentee afterwards.

My questions are now:

  1. Is it possible to setup several unique meeting ID’s with agora_streamer? And if yes - how would we do that?

  2. Do you think the agora_streamer makes sense for our case? And if not - what other tool would you recommend to use? Since the agora_connector has no recording function, we cannot use it, unfortunately.

Thanks a lot for your help! Much appreciated!

Best,
Armin

Hello,

No, that’s not possible. To implement your case, the more rational solution would be to create security conditions on the page. I mean the next:

  • you have a “streamer” page from which a certain type of user can start a stream and a “stream_audience” page from which the audience watches the stream. So, create a Workflow “when the page is loaded”;
  • Add a condition to this event “Only when current user’s agora_streamer is NO”;
  • Add a “Go to page index (etc) action”;
  • Create a new data type in your User Table - agora_streamer and agora_audience - with data type YES/NO.

Thus, you can filter users on the streamer and streaming pages in the way that unsolicited users (whose database value is agora_streamer / agora_audience = NO) will not have access to streaming pages.

We cannot know all the nuances of your use case to consider how much sense the streaming component of a plugin makes to you.

Unfortunately, even if we had this information, we don’t undertake the responsibility of advising users on the custom application of our products. Our team provides general information on products and troubleshooting in case of appeared bugs or other issues.

However, please note that using the streaming component, the audience is not able to use voice communication with the streamer - the audience can only listen to the streamer. I’m afraid the streaming component does not fit your needs.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi @Ecaterina,

Thanks a lot for your reply!

Unfortunately, in this case, Agora is not a solution for us.

Do you by any chance whether it is possible to host a Zoom call directly in the Bubble App + to record it? And if not - do you know any video conferencing tool that has this feature?

Thanks again for your support! Much appreciated.

Best,
Verena

Hi,

Unfortunately, it is not possible to host a Zoom call directly in your Bubble Application and to record it without using any additional tools. We apologize for this inconvenience.

However, following this link you can search for all plugins available on Bubble’s marketplace https://bubble.io/plugins which might fit your expectations. Please analyze available products in case of necessity.

Best regards,
