Real-time Recording Health Alerts for Weak Connection and High Resource Usage

XMLWordPrintable

      Summary
      To have a real-time notification/alert when the connection is weak, or resource usage (e.g., GPU) is high, so that recording quality issues can be detected and addressed during the recording

      Description

      User Problem
      Recordings can be negatively impacted by weak or unstable connections and high GPU/CPU usage without any clear in-product signal. Quality or reliability issues (e.g., choppy video, audio/video desync, failed upload/processing) are often only discovered after completing long recordings, resulting in wasted time and the need to re‑record.

      Suggested Solutions

      Surface real-time, in-app alerts during recording when:

      • Connection quality drops below a defined threshold
      • GPU/CPU or overall system resource usage exceeds a risk threshold

      Alert behavior:

      • On-screen, non-intrusive notification while recording
      • Clear messaging that recording quality may be affected
      • Quick action to pause recording directly from the alert

      Optional enhancements:

        • Simple “recording health” indicator that changes state when risk conditions are detected.

      Current Workarounds

      • Manually monitoring system and network health using OS tools or external tests
      • Running short test recordings before longer ones
