Hello @Live Dreamer, I’m having a bit of a hard time understanding the question due a language barrier, but if I may clarify what you are trying to ask is- how to only record the 45 minutes of the stream and not the entire 3 or 4 hours?

If so, are you following the documentation for the streamRecorderSegmentDuration method?

You can view it here:

If you need help configuring it, please feel free to submit a support ticket:
