## Tuning recording encoding
By default, LiveKit Egress records with the built-in `H264_720P_30` preset: 1280×720 at 30 fps, 3000 kbps H.264 MAIN video and 128 kbps AAC audio. For a one-hour meeting this produces a file of roughly **1.4 GB**, which is often heavier than necessary for talking-head content and screen sharing.
Every video recording is encoded from a default resolved from `RECORDING_ENCODING_DEFAULT_PROFILE` + `RECORDING_ENCODING_DEFAULT_RESOLUTION` and passed to LiveKit as advanced `EncodingOptions`. The shipped defaults (`full` profile) match LiveKit's built-in `H264_720P_30` preset. For a one-hour meeting that produces a file of roughly **1.4 GB**, which is often heavier than necessary for talking-head content and screen sharing; lowering the default profile/resolution shrinks it. If either default is left unset, no custom default encoding is built: a warning is logged at startup and LiveKit's built-in preset is used instead.
The `RECORDING_ENCODING_*` settings let operators override this preset without modifying the source. Values are passed straight through LiveKit's `EncodingOptions.advanced` to the GStreamer pipeline (`x264enc` for video, `faac` for audio), so there are no hidden conversions — what you set is what the encoder receives.
Encoding is chosen from two maps: `RECORDING_ENCODING_AVAILABLE_RESOLUTIONS` (`resolution → {"width", "height"}`) and `RECORDING_ENCODING_AVAILABLE_PROFILES` (`profile → {"fps", "kbps": {resolution: video_bitrate_kbps}}`):
- **Default**: `RECORDING_ENCODING_DEFAULT_PROFILE` + `RECORDING_ENCODING_DEFAULT_RESOLUTION` set the encoding used by every recording that doesn't override it. Leave either unset to fall back to LiveKit's built-in preset (a startup warning is emitted).
- **Per recording (opt-in)**: set `RECORDING_CUSTOM_ENCODING_ENABLED=True` to let clients override the default per recording. The start-recording API then accepts an `encoding` object selecting a `resolution` (required) and `profile` (optional): a resolution-only request sets the frame size but leaves LiveKit's default framerate/bitrate; adding a profile pins fps and bitrate too. When `RECORDING_CUSTOM_ENCODING_ENABLED=False`, the API rejects any per-recording `encoding` and the default is used.
The resolved values are passed straight through LiveKit's `EncodingOptions.advanced` to the GStreamer pipeline (`x264enc` for video, `faac` for audio), so there are no hidden conversions — what the profile/resolution resolve to is what the encoder receives.
### How values map to GStreamer
| Setting | GStreamer element | Property |
| ------------------------------------- | ----------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| `RECORDING_ENCODING_WIDTH/HEIGHT` | capsfilter | `video/x-raw,width=W,height=H` |
| `RECORDING_ENCODING_FRAMERATE` | capsfilter | `framerate=F/1` |
| `RECORDING_ENCODING_VIDEO_BITRATE_KBPS` | `x264enc` | `bitrate=kbps` (kilobits) |
| `RECORDING_ENCODING_KEY_FRAME_INTERVAL_S` | `x264enc` | `key-int-max = interval × fps` |
| `RECORDING_ENCODING_AUDIO_BITRATE_KBPS` | `faac` | `bitrate = kbps × 1000` (bits) |
| Resolved value | GStreamer element | Property |
| ----------------------------------------- | ----------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| resolution `width` / `height` | capsfilter | `video/x-raw,width=W,height=H` |
| profile `fps` | capsfilter | `framerate=F/1` |
| profile `kbps[resolution]` | `x264enc` | `bitrate=kbps` (kilobits) |
| `RECORDING_ENCODING_KEY_FRAME_INTERVAL_S` | `x264enc` | `key-int-max = interval × fps` |
| `RECORDING_ENCODING_AUDIO_BITRATE_KBPS` | `faac` | `bitrate = kbps × 1000` (bits) |
The H.264 profile is fixed to MAIN and the x264 `speed-preset` to `veryfast` by LiveKit (real-time constraint) — lowering the framerate is therefore the main lever to save CPU, while lowering the bitrate is the main lever to shrink the output file.
### Reference profiles
### Built-in profiles
Rough 30-minute file-size estimates assume video + audio bitrate multiplied by duration. Actual sizes vary with content (static talking heads compress better than heavy screen motion). Egress CPU figures are indicative, measured on a single Ryzen laptop core saturated by the default preset (= 100 %); scaling is roughly linear with `framerate × bitrate` but the absolute numbers depend on the host hardware.
The default `RECORDING_ENCODING_AVAILABLE_PROFILES` ship four profiles. Framerate is fixed per profile; video bitrate (kbps) scales with resolution so quality stays consistent across sizes. File size scales roughly with `framerate × bitrate`, and so does egress CPU cost.
| Profile | Resolution | FPS | Video (kbps) | Audio (kbps) | Keyframe (s) | ~ size / 30 min | Egress CPU (vs. default) | Suitable for |
| ---------------------- | ---------- | --- | ------------ | ------------ | ------------ | --------------- | ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------- |
| Default (preset) | 1280×720 | 30 | 3000 | 128 | 4 | **~690 MB** | 100 % | Unchanged LiveKit behaviour |
| Balanced | 1280×720 | 20 | 1000 | 96 | 4 | ~240 MB | ~67 % | Mixed content, moderate motion |
| **Low CPU / small file** | 1280×720 | 15 | 600 | 64 | 4 | **~150 MB** | ~50 % | Talking-head dominant meetings + occasional slides ★ |
| Slide-heavy | 1280×720 | 15 | 900 | 64 | 4 | ~210 MB | ~55 % | Frequent dense screen sharing (decks, IDE, docs) |
| Minimum CPU | 960×540 | 15 | 500 | 64 | 4 | ~125 MB | ~30 % | Voice-first meetings, readable text not required |
| Audio-heavy fallback | 1280×720 | 10 | 400 | 96 | 4 | ~110 MB | ~35 % | Long webinars, low motion |
| Profile | FPS | 540p (kbps) | 720p (kbps) | 1080p (kbps) | Suitable for |
| --------------- | --- | ----------- | ----------- | ------------ | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `talking_heads` | 15 | 400 | 700 | 1200 | Talking-head dominant meetings + occasional slides |
| `text` | 15 | 600 | 1000 | 1800 | Frequent dense screen sharing (decks, IDE, docs) |
| `mixed` | 20 | 900 | 1500 | 2500 | Mixed content, moderate motion |
| `full` | 30 | 2000 | 3000 | 4500 | Highest fidelity; closest to the LiveKit preset |
★ Recommended starting point for typical LaSuite Meet usage.
To pick a profile per recording (requires `RECORDING_CUSTOM_ENCODING_ENABLED=True`), the client sends it in the start-recording request:
Environment variables for the **Low CPU / small file** profile:
```json
{
"mode": "screen_recording",
"options": {"encoding": {"resolution": "720p", "profile": "talking_heads"}}
}
```
To change the default encoding applied to every recording:
```bash
RECORDING_ENCODING_ENABLED=True
RECORDING_ENCODING_WIDTH=1280
RECORDING_ENCODING_HEIGHT=720
RECORDING_ENCODING_FRAMERATE=15
RECORDING_ENCODING_VIDEO_BITRATE_KBPS=600
RECORDING_ENCODING_DEFAULT_RESOLUTION=720p
RECORDING_ENCODING_DEFAULT_PROFILE=talking_heads
RECORDING_ENCODING_AUDIO_BITRATE_KBPS=64
RECORDING_ENCODING_KEY_FRAME_INTERVAL_S=4.0
```
### Caveats
- **Screen-share readability — think bits/frame, not bitrate**: at 720p, text legibility starts to break down below ~40 kbits/frame (= `bitrate ÷ framerate`). The recommended preset (600 kbps × 15 fps) sits at exactly that threshold, comfortable for talking heads with occasional slide sharing. The same 600 kbps at 30 fps would only deliver 20 kbits/frame and visibly blur dense slides — which is why **lowering framerate is a more screen-share-friendly lever than lowering bitrate**. For deck-heavy or IDE-share meetings, prefer the **Slide-heavy** profile (900 kbps × 15 fps ≈ 60 kbits/frame).
- **Screen-share readability — think bits/frame, not bitrate**: at 720p, text legibility starts to break down below ~40 kbits/frame (= `bitrate ÷ framerate`). The `talking_heads` profile (700 kbps × 15 fps) sits just above that threshold, comfortable for talking heads with occasional slide sharing. The same bitrate at 30 fps would only deliver ~23 kbits/frame and visibly blur dense slides — which is why **lowering framerate is a more screen-share-friendly lever than lowering bitrate**. For deck-heavy or IDE-share meetings, prefer the **`text`** profile (1000 kbps × 15 fps ≈ 67 kbits/frame).
- **Motion handling**: the `veryfast` x264 preset is set by LiveKit and cannot be overridden here. Low-bitrate settings will therefore show more artefacts on fast motion than an offline re-encode with a slower preset would. This is the other reason FPS reduction is the safer tuning lever for meeting recordings.
- **Audio**: AAC at 64 kbps stereo is transparent for voice but starts to compress music noticeably. Keep 128 kbps if you expect music playback in meetings.
- **Codec choice**: H.264 MAIN is hardcoded on purpose. Switching to HEVC or VP9 would increase egress CPU cost 2×–5×, defeating the goal of this tuning.
