How is pricing calculated for recordings?
Pricing is usage-based at $0.50 per hour of recording, regardless of the number of participants. Billing is prorated to the second, so a 30-minute meeting would cost $0.25. Transcription is an additional $0.15 per hour.
What is the difference between the Meeting Bot API and Desktop Recording SDK?
The Meeting Bot API records video conferences by having a bot join the call, suitable when explicit consent is needed. The Desktop Recording SDK records via a desktop app without a bot, offering a stealthier recording experience. Both are priced the same.
