    Great stuff! I have 2 questions though:

    I want to record meetings that are done on hangouts. However, these should not be broadcast on youtube (confidential). Is that possible?

    Second questions is: when there is a meeting between 2 people, I would like to have the recording saved to my company’s youtube channel, NOT to the youtube channel of one of the two participants. Of course they’ll consent to that. Is that possible?

    Thanks a lot for your help,

    Fernando
