Executive Summary

Many publishers, SMBs, education platforms and prosumers who stream with WebRTC lack a reliable, hands-free way to record multi-party or multi-stream events when HLS isn’t available, forcing manual capture, brittle custom builds, or low-quality server-side hacks. That gap creates missed revenue, poor archival quality, and sustained engineering drag for an estimated 3 million potential customers who would pay for turnkey recording. Build a managed service plus lightweight SDK that automatically records WebRTC sessions and multi-stream events—handling reconnections, per-track isolation, cloud storage, and delivery-ready assets (transcripts, highlights, chaptering) without client-side intervention. Expose simple APIs, predictable pricing, and regional/storage controls so teams can integrate in hours rather than months. The TAM is roughly $3.6B (3M customers × $1.2K ACV) and market conditions are favorable: live-first apps are proliferating, developer-first media infra lowers build costs, and low-cost AI repurposing turns recordings into revenue-generating assets. Differentiate by specializing in WebRTC-native, multi-stream capture and bundled AI tooling to deliver higher-quality discrete-track recordings and automated highlights that generic SFUs/CDNs don’t provide; competition is medium but the market score (88/100) and strong revenue potential indicate a clear niche. Be upfront that supporting diverse RTC stacks, managing storage costs, and addressing consent/compliance are nontrivial engineering and legal challenges, but they are solvable with a focused product and regional infrastructure strategy.

Market Opportunity

Automated WebRTC livestream recorder for hands-free multi-stream capture targets a $3.6B = 3M potential customers (publishers, SMBs, education platforms, prosumers) × $1.2K ACV total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 20% YoY (live streaming & live-video infrastructure CAGR ~20% — source: Grand View Research 2024).

Key trends driving demand: Live-first apps are proliferating — more events and creators stream natively with WebRTC, creating demand for reliable recording when HLS isn't available.; Shift to developer-first media infra — managed RTC and SFU services reduce the cost of building recording features, enabling specialized recording services to emerge.; AI-driven repurposing — low-cost transcription and highlight generation increases the value of recorded assets, making recording a revenue-generating function not just an archive.; Regulatory and compliance pressure — industries (education, finance, legal) increasingly require verifiable recordings, raising willingness to pay for reliable capture and retention..

Key competitors include Daily (Cloud Recording), Agora Cloud Recording, Wowza Streaming Cloud.
