Our Philosophy on Recordings: Why We Capture the Whole Picture
What is a meeting recording? Is it just a collection of video and audio streams? Or is it a faithful replica of a live, interactive experience?
At Plug-N-Meet, we believe a recording should be a perfect, trustworthy artifact. When you watch it back, the whiteboard annotations should appear at the exact moment the speaker was discussing them. The chat messages should pop up in perfect sync with the conversation. The shared presentation should be exactly as the audience saw it.
To achieve this perfect fidelity, we made a deliberate architectural choice for our recorder: we record the final, rendered output, not just the individual parts.
