Deploying the Zoom Recording Hybrid service

The Recording Hybrid module comprises four Zoom Node services: Meeting Recorder, Hybrid Transfer Service, Content Streamer, and Load Balancer. 

With the Meeting Recorder service, Zoom Meetings Hybrid module users can record their private meetings and store recordings locally using on-premise storage (NFS) connected to the Zoom Node server. This can be useful when it is necessary to record meetings, but need an alternative to recording to Zoom's Cloud or saving the recording to a local device. The Hybrid Transfer Service can be deployed to transfer cloud recording data to the NFS storage. 

Administrators can also deploy the Content Streamer service to allow users to replay recordings and legacy in-meeting chats generated during hybrid meetings within their browser from the Cloud recordings section of their Zoom Web portal. The Streamer Load Balancer can be deployed if multiple Content Streamers are utilized.

For users to be able to view hybrid recordings utilizing the Content Streamer service, cross-domain access will need to be enabled in their browser.
