My use case is i'm using opentok video calling feature for broadcasting live stream where multiple user subscribe to a stream but only one can publish it .and i want to only archive only the publisher stream not other subscribers is it possible .

Hi @shakil807g ,

To recorder the publisher stream, you have several options:

• You can use the MediaProjection API to record the screen.
• You can use the MediaRecorder, but please note, you don't need to use a CustomCapturer, you can setup the MediaRecorder in the Activity, and feed it with the input surfaces for the publisher.
• You can use MediaCodec to directly save the publisher video frames using a video encoder. In this case, you will need to build your own capturer in that case.

The last option seems to be the most difficult, so I recommend to you to try MediaProjection or MediaRecorder.

@marcioaffonso Can i save the single stream to server with opentok archiving api instead of storing locally ??

@shakil807g You could use the individual stream archiving option.
