is it possible to record the video and audio streams locally to the clients computer? If so, how would this be achieved?

    Hi @MIDIculous yes you can record locally, by setting the recording type to local
    https://docs.daily.co/guides/products/live-streaming-recording/recording-calls-with-the-daily-api#local This will download a recording of the session with both audio and video in one file to the recorder's device.

    A few things of note for local recordings:
    - The participant recording the call must also be using Chrome on desktop.
    - Local recordings will be immediately downloaded to the computer of the participant who stops the recording.
    - Be sure to tell the participant who clicked "Start" recording to click "Stop" before they leave the call. If the participant who started a recording leaves the room without stopping it, then the recording will be lost. Daily Prebuilt attempts to warn the user before they leave to avoid losing any recordings.
