I'm building for iOS and I need to allow recording of the video and audio. How would I do it? My backend is python.

Thanks for reaching out, Rishabh. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
To enable video and audio recording for iOS with a Python backend using LiveKit, follow these steps: Python Backend Setup: 1. Use the LiveKit API to set up recording using the Egress feature. This captures all participants and interactions in a LiveKit room. 2. Configure the recording in your Python agent's entrypoint function. Here's an example: 3. Ensure you have access to a cloud storage provider (e.g., Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage) to upload the recording files. iOS Frontend Integration: 1. Use the LiveKit Swift SDK to connect your iOS app to LiveKit rooms. 2. Publish audio and video tracks from the iOS app to the LiveKit room. 3. The backend will record these tracks along with other participants' interactions. Additional Notes: • To record only audio, set the
audio_only
parameter to
True
and remove the
preset
parameter in the backend configuration. • The recording starts when the agent enters the room and ends when all participants leave. Let me know if you need further details or assistance! Sources: Recording agent sessions | LiveKit Docs | Session recording and transcripts | LiveKit Docs | README.md

This works. Have you seen that the video has a lot of blank screen after the session ends?

I don't have the answer you're looking for. You could also try asking your question: • in one of the other Slack channels or • to https://deepwiki.com/livekit/livekit_composite which is trained on all LiveKit source code If you find the answer, please post it here to help others!

blank screen in video recording even after all participants have left. How do I fix?
