Executive Summary

Many live-stream producers who run WebRTC-only interactive experiences — from commerce and Q&A to blended multi-party shows — lack reliable, server-side headless recording, forcing ad-hoc client-side captures or costly custom infrastructure. That gap causes lost archives, missed monetization, poor analytics, and compliance headaches for creators and platforms. You could build a managed developer platform that runs containerized headless WebRTC clients with built-in TURN/edge relays, providing 24/7 deterministic recording, direct ingest to cloud storage, APIs/SDKs, and on-demand playback. Bundling automated AI indexing, transcripts, and highlight extraction would turn raw recordings into searchable, monetizable assets and make integration straightforward for engineers. The market looks attractive now: a $2.4B TAM (1,000,000 producers × $2.4K ACV) with Market Score 88/100 and Revenue Potential 82/100 reflects strong demand as WebRTC moves beyond meetings and edge/managed TURN solutions lower operational barriers. AI-driven indexing is also increasing per-recording value, making even modest adoption economically meaningful. You can differentiate by offering turnkey reliability (SLAs for long‑running headless clients), cost-effective edge placement and managed TURN, plus integrated AI post-processing — while being frank that engineering effort to solve NAT traversal, 24/7 stability, TURN costs, and compliance will be nontrivial but addressable through focused product partnerships and clear developer APIs.

Market Opportunity

Automated headless recorder for WebRTC-only livestreams targets a $2.4B = 1,000,000 live-stream producers × $2.4K ACV (includes recording, storage, basic indexing and infra) total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 12% YoY — reflects combined growth of real-time engagement (WebRTC) and cloud video infrastructure markets (industry analyst summaries).

Key trends driving demand: WebRTC moves beyond meetings — interactive live experiences (commerce, Q&A, blended streaming) are increasing demand for server-side recording.; Edge and managed TURN services are lowering operational barriers, making headless WebRTC clients practical for 24/7 use.; AI indexing and highlight extraction are raising the per-recording value, turning raw archives into searchable, monetizable assets.; Regulatory pressure in telehealth, finance and education is increasing demand for auditable, tamper-evident recording capabilities..

Key competitors include Daily (daily.co), Agora, LiveKit, Mux.
