Recording an interview episode

Recording with a guest is similar to a solo episode, with one extra step: send your guest the invite link ahead of time. When they arrive they'll wait in the lobby until admitted by a host or producer.

Give your session a real name when starting. The guest's name or an episode number works well, and it'll make it easy to find later.

On the pre-join screen, always double-check your camera and microphone selections rather than assuming the browser picked the right ones by default. It's easy to have the wrong mic selected even when the meter shows signal coming in.

Once your guest joins and you admit them, get everyone set up before you hit record. Open the Participants panel to check their mic, camera, and audio settings, then have a quick chat to make sure you can hear each other clearly. Headphones on both ends help prevent echo and keep everyone's audio clean. You can also watch their audio level on the meter: aim for around halfway, and avoid letting it stay in the red.

You can drop markers and notes as you go. Each person is captured locally on their own device at full quality, so you get a clean, separate track per person, and every file uploads on its own after you stop.

If you have back-to-back interviews scheduled, locking the room keeps a new guest's join request from interrupting the one in progress. And if a guest asks how to hide their own video, they'll find it in their own settings menu, same as yours.
