StorageDir is the location that your application will save recorded videos.

It could be a folder on the server, or an EBS volume

You can’t save directly to the s3 bucket, you have to move after recording is complete.

Actually it is configurable, it can be done without code. See this post:

Is there any further code for what that would look like? I’m having a bit of trouble at the moment envisioning at what point in the application lifecycle the server code would move the recorded file to the S3 bucket
