Hi,
We are displaying names in the video off mode but in recording i cannot see any name only black screen i can see.But if we turn on the video the recording is playing perfectly.
could you help on this
recording layout : individual
INDIVIDUAL recordings only store the transmitted media stream. Obviously any HTML/CSS elements displayed in your application are not part of the video stream and won’t be recorded. You must perform some post-processing in your individual videos to apply any kind of transformation.
OpenVidu recording also offers COMPOSED mode, which allows fine grain customization in a single layout, or you could even use video filters to display text on the transmitted video (that would actually be recorded). But both solutions are more CPU consuming, take that into account.
It’s possible to add a text overlay in the publisher’s web browser before sending over the network using a helper HTML5 canvas element.
You draw the video on the canvas, add the text overlay, then capture the canvas video stream and use it as video source.
This moves the CPU effort to client side.

Yes, that can be also a good enough solution
