The text discusses the frustration of forgetting to record meetings and the benefits of implementing an auto-recording option in video calls. Daily.co has baked this feature into its API, allowing users to easily create meeting tokens with auto recording enabled. To set up auto recording, users need to sign up for the Scale Plan, create a private test room with recording enabled, and then use the /meeting-tokens endpoint to configure the recording settings. The process involves creating a meeting token with specific properties, such as start_cloud_recording, and then testing it by adding the token as a query parameter to the meeting link. Once set up, users can quickly test auto recording and later access recordings in their dashboard. The text also provides guidance on embedding auto recording within custom video applications and encourages users to experiment with other Scale Plan features.
