Hi I am building a video conference app using Openvidu CE and I want to transfer the recording file to storage server(MinIO) when recording is finished.

My first attempt was to get the url of the file in my application server using Webhook (`recordingStatusChanged`) when the Recording is in ready status.  
But the problem was that the process would be like: webhook event received → HTTP get to Openvidu to get recording url → get input stream using URL → upload to MinIO → delete file in Openvidu server.

In my opinion, there are a lot of unnecessary connection to each server, so I would like to minimize that if possible. I have looked into Openvidu-server codes a little and found RecordingUploader interface which seems like a right place for me to upload the recording file after it is finished and ready to get sent. Is that the right place for me to implement what I want to do?

Or if there are better suggestions, please help me out with them too.

Thank you!

S3 uploading is available in OpenVidu PRO/ENTERPRISE.

But your approach it’s ok if you want to use OpenVidu CE.
