congrats for the launch! how did you manage to increase the quality of the recording?

It's actually quite simple. In a addition to a web call we record a separate high quality tracks for both audio and video locally.

The challenge was doing all of this in browser since the APIs are not really consistent + there are a lot of weird bugs and issues with both MediaRecorder API and IndexedDB.

We spend quite a bit of time setting up logging for client app. Since most of these weird issues are very hard to reproduce. (For example Chrome randomly purging binary blobs after storing them in IndexedDB)

hmm, did not know that about the consitency of APIs. thank you for the explanation and good luck with your product!
