You are doing great work, and I do think making it open-source is a smart strategic choice. There's still so much potential for building AI intelligence products on top of video call recordings, and right now you are offering the only practical foundation to build such systems on.
I've been keeping a close eye because $1/h is unsustainable for what we are building, and there's no good reason why it should cost so much. It's manageable for early traction, but soon we'll need to consider either to build all those integrations ourselves or to build on top of Amurex. We might be contributing soon.
I did see in GitHub that Teams support was almost done, exciting! Do you plan to continue with the browser extension model, or are you also looking for solutions to record meetings that happen in the Teams/Zoom native client?
I think this is why most companies do it by creating a bot that joins the meeting, it's also great free advertising for them. Of course it's a bit awkward for the user, but it's becoming a normal thing, and ethically it's better to be explicit about the fact you are recording.

Thank you :D

Sounds great! We are super happy to support all the integrations. If you can message me on discord, I'd be super keen to hear what you have to say.

Coming soon ;)

The problem with bots is that
- first, they are annoying.
- second, I have a tendency to reject all the bots joining my meeting because they are annoying, which deems the bot products practically useless.
And you raise a good point about ethics, we expect the users to be grown up about their decisions. The users are expected to act according to their state laws.
I grew up reading and being influenced by liberation in FOSS software. I don't really want to impose our own "laws" on a user if their state says otherwise.
