Research direction

The issue names no source files or tests; begin with the linked Wire documentation and deployment repository, then trace the WebRTC call path and recording authorization model. Done would be a maintainer-confirmed, documented answer covering participant capture, bandwidth, quota, and whether a media server can be authorized in the call path.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

My question:
Hi there,

Which approach would you recommend to server side audio and/or video recording? From a security standpoint it seems that making the recording service a visible participant in a conference would be best, however how to capture the non composited participant streams, and do it in a bandwidth efficient manner? Also eating at the 4 video caller quota with a bot would be significant. Is it technically possible to setup a media server with the necessary authorisations in the call path? Apologies if this is obvious, I dont know much about WebRTC.

Cheers for the really groundbreaking project! Really looking forward to build on top of it.
