[FEATURE-REQUEST] Record just audio

[cinjon]

How do I record just audio and not the video too? The docs (https://docs.daily.co/reference/daily-js/instance-methods/start-recording) show the following command that records video as well. I do not want to turn off the displayed video, just not record it.

call.startRecording({
  width: 1280,
  height: 720,
  fps: 25,
  backgroundColor: '#FF1F2D3D',
  layout: {
    preset: 'default',
    max_cam_streams: 5,
  },
});

Hey @cinjon,

this sounds like you'll want to record using the raw-tracks configuration. While this might not be exactly what you're asking for, it's the closest Daily is currently offering.

With raw-tracks recordings you'll receive individual media tracks in your custom S3 bucket. From there you'll be able to post-process the audio tracks into a single audio recording.

I'll close this issue for now, as this is a more general question about Daily as a platform and not necessarily a feature request for the Daily React library.

I'd like to invite you to ask similar questions in our community or checkout other questions that were already posted there.

Best, Christian
