What Are the Differences Between Single Stream Recording and Mixed Stream Recording?

The differences between single stream recording and mixed stream recording are as follows:
  • Single stream recording: The audio/video streams of each user in a room can be recorded and saved in independent files. For example, if parents only want to watch videos of their child and the teacher, they can adopt single stream recording. Videos of their child and the teacher are recorded separately and then combined. For details about how to implement single stream recording, see Creating a Single Stream Recording Job.
  • Mixed stream recording: Audio/Video streams in a room can be mixed in the cloud, and then the mixed audio/video streams can be recorded and saved in one file. For example, if you want to record a live video with co-hosting, you can select mixed stream recording to record the audio/video streams of all hosts and store them in one file. You do not need to combine the recorded audio/video streams using script. For details about how to implement mixed stream recording, see Creating a Mixed Stream Recording Job.
