Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can my AI handle cloud recording and stream mixing?

Yes. Your AI uses Tencent TRTC tools to start or stop cloud recordings and manage MCU stream mixing. You get full control over session archiving through your chat interface.

The outcomes

What you get from automation

These are the specific results your AI delivers when you give it a command.

ARCHIVE

Automated session recording

The AI triggers cloud recording for your live sessions. You get a reliable archive of the stream without manual intervention.

MIXING

Managed stream mixing

Your agent handles MCU mixing tasks. This allows you to combine multiple video streams into a single feed via text.

CONTROL

Instant task termination

You can stop any active recording or mixing session immediately. The AI executes the stop command as soon as you ask.

HUMAN

Manual oversight required

The AI cannot watch the video feed for you. You still need to monitor the actual stream quality and content yourself.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

The AI acts as the bridge between your text commands and the Tencent TRTC media engine.

  1. Initiate recording

    When you tell your agent to save a session, it sends the command to the cloud to begin capturing the stream.

    start_cloud_recording

  2. Start stream mixing

    If you need to merge multiple participants into one view, the AI triggers the mixing process.

    start_mcu_mix

  3. Stop active mixing

    Once the multi-stream session ends, the AI shuts down the mixing engine to save resources.

    stop_mcu_mix

  4. End session capture

    The AI stops the cloud recording process to finalize the file and wrap up the archive task.

    stop_cloud_recording
