i'd pass if I knew a company was gonna record me and retain it for their free use indefinitely.

I really really hope this means like podcast interviews, if it's a job interview it would be the worst thing imaginable.

yep, it's for content purposes. Podcasts, videocasts etc... I wouldn't participate in a job interview with demand like this haha.

Yeah my first reaction reading the title was job interviews, but then the site made it clearer. Maybe worth updating it to say “podcast interviews” or “webcast” (not sure if it’s a thing)? EDIT: videocast!

So, that's another take-away lesson then: how can you make this point clearer to your audience? I, too, thought you were targeting job interviews - if it's a common misunderstanding, it might really hurt you.

Agreed, thought you meant job interviews and immediately associated negativity with your brand until reading comments.

We built an (internal) product back in March, based around vmix and webrtc, for doing interviews for braoadcast purposes.

Guest(s) get a link, interviewer gets a link, producer can watch the whole thing and provide comms to the right people at the right time, combined and ISO feed recorded separately and dropped into package, fairly reliable although occasionally get issues with some guests being unable to click "Allow camera" or whatever in chrome.

Wouldn't have even considered using it for interviews, but I guess that's because our minds tend to work on a "see problem, build solution" rather than "build solution, expand market"
