Platforms like Riverside.fm and SquadCast revolutionized remote video recording by capturing separate uncompressed audio/video tracks locally on each participant's browser. However, for organizations building internal telehealth, legal deposition, or interview platforms using open-source WebRTC (LiveKit, mediasoup, Janus), recording dozens of concurrent 1080p video streams locally exhausts server storage arrays within hours.
Configure your WebRTC media server egress worker (e.g., LiveKit Egress or custom GStreamer pipeline) to output fragmented MP4 chunks directly into an HTTP resumable stream connected to Google Drive's API. The stream writes chunks to cloud storage in real-time, ensuring that even if a server experiences a hard power cut, all recorded footage up to the last 2 seconds is permanently preserved.
