Chat recording
100ms can record chat messages sent in a room when a video recording is used. Chat messages that are broadcasted to the room or sent to a role are recorded (direct messages are not recorded).
Chat recording generates a .csv file, which will be uploaded to the storage bucket configured for your video recordings.
File structure
The file header will be: SenderPeerID,SenderName,SenderUserID,Roles,SentAt,Type,Message
Header information
| Header | Description |
|---|---|
| SenderPeerID | Sender's peer id |
| SenderName | Sender's name |
| SenderUserID | Sender's user id |
| Roles | Roles to which the message is sent; [] in case of all roles |
| SentAt | SentAt in RFC.3339 format |
| Type | Message type - chat |
| Message | Message that was sent |
