Bitrate Now Scales With Resolution Across All Browsers

Improvement
Alexandru

Our recording client now dynamically scales the video bitrate based on resolution on all browsers (previously, this was only done on Safari). This improves video quality, particularly when:

  1. recording at resolutions higher than 480p with capable webcams
  2. recording on mobile devices (which already ship with capable cameras)

We’ve also aligned bitrate values more closely follow YouTube’s recommendations for SDR video at 30fps.

Our documentation has been updated with the latest bitrate details used by the recording client.
