OK, I need to automate the recording of online calls with platforms like Zoom, Discord, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. I have been manually using OBS to do this recording. I just want to automate this so that every time I enter a video chat on any of those platforms, OBS will do the needful. I have zero coding experience, but I have a very high IQ. I'm sure I can manage to stich this functionality together if someone could roughly explain the best way to approach such a problem. This recording is legal in my jurisdiction, not that /g/entoomen care.
>>101575538I just googled it and it seems pretty straight forward.
>>101575581I tried Googleing but I don't really see anything.To be clearer, I take meetings at almost random times throughout the day, so some sort of scheduled recording of an application through OBS isn't going to work, and I don't want to have to think to turn OBS on every fucking meeting, but I need to archive this stuff for my business.
>>101575538can you use the browser version of all those? if so just make a browser plugin or use selenium
>>101575538Make sure, after you start each recording, you check that the file is actually growing and doesn't stay at 0 bytes. I lost a college lecture due to that bug.
>>101575643I appreciate your help. This sounds doable. I don't currently use browser version but I can if it will do what I need it to.>>101575656I would ideally like this part also automized KEK I can't be bothered to do this. I have legitimately sometimes a dozen meetings in a day, and often many 10-15 minute calls w my team member
I also wanted to quickly add the following:FUCK CHATBOTS SAYING THEY WON'T HELP ME BECAUSE THEY THINK RECORDING CALLS IS AGAINST THE LAW.
Ok, if anyone gives a shit, it looks like OBS has a websocket plugin to allow other apps to control it.I will need to somehow write or fork a script that constantly monitors for meetings starting on these various platforms and then uses the websocket to start and stop recording when those states are reached
>>101575538Just setup a security cameta in your room, point it in your general direction and hook it up to a 40TB NAS.
