Filter users video/audio from the recording

[arpit tiwari]

Please suggest if there is any way to do this:
E.g. There are two participants in the recording, both moderator or one moderator one listener. They both have added their video and audio during the recording, but we would like to pick only one of them and have the final recording contain video/audio of only that one person. Please share your thoughts.

The raw audio is mixed so all voices are in the .opus file that is used for recording.

 You can exclude someone’s camera from appearing in the recording by passing a join param `userdata-bbb_record_video=false`

Thanks for the suggestion, it works fine for the video part. We are still working/finding workaround for excluding the audio part.

So you never require an attendees voice in the recording?  if your not having a conversation with attendees.  why not just join them listen only...

freeswitch can record the write path of a channel before it goes into the mixer to ensure no other audio.  modifications to dialplan and a way to identify which channels need this recording..  Not very cpu/io friendly if you record every channel stream in prod server.  

Then you can use this file in place of the mixed output with changes to recording processing.

Ok, and yes joining as listeners should do, thank you very much.
