◦ Ensure Observability is enabled in your LiveKit Cloud project settings and you’re using a supported Agent SDK version (Observability requires recent Agent SDK releases).
Quick questions so I can give exact code/snippets for your setup:
• Are you aiming for production-quality archived recordings (use Egress) or debugging/observability recordings from the Agent SDK?
• Which Agent SDK are you using (Python or Node) and which versions? Sources: Why is my Agent insights data missing? | LiveKit | Universal Egress | LiveKit, with interactive elementsvictorious-room-41442

Calling start_room_composite_egress returns an egressId immediately and the egress job is started right away, but there is a short setup delay before media capture begins. LiveKit spins up a headless browser compositor that connects to the room as a hidden participant; recording starts as soon as that compositor is initialized and joined. The startup is typically fast but can vary with system load and room state.

If you tell me whether you control the client flow (can delay participants) or need an automatic approach, I can suggest a specific implementation pattern or snippet.
