How to Record a JackTrip Session with OBS + Radio

JackTrip Radio will automatically record your audio from any public broadcast and save it for streaming or download. However, it won't record any video, so you'll have to use some additional open-source software like OBS Studio. This guide will show you how to do that!

Recording the video

While you're in a JackTrip session, you'll see video from the other participants when you join through your browser. It looks like this:

Recording the audio

This part is easy! Just broadcast to the public with JackTrip Radio and your audio will be automatically recorded.

After your session, there is a short wait while the audio processes for download. After that, you should receive an email and link to download from the "Recordings" tab of your studio.
