OBS software enables you to record your local session connection, which is a free app and easy to configure.

I would love a recording feature but would want the option to be only for the session host or moderator....Or have a way to toggle on and off if a guest could record or not. The events I host would detour people from coming if they knew anyone could record them easily through the site.

For large conferences and webinars it has become commonplace in our virtual world to record sessions. The reliance on 3rd party apps for basic global functionality limits the viability for many use cases. Recording sessions should be a basic requirement that will provide great ROI for the user experience.

We have been able to use Loom successfully. There's a setting on the desktop app to record system sound. It also uploads quickly and the link to share with everyone is available within minutes of the meeting ending. So this has been a solid workaround for us.

There's only one bug to it so far, you can't change your speaker in the middle of recording -- like switching to headphones or away from headphones -- but Loom is aware and is working on this.

One of the biggest missing features for our company as we are moving towards making this our go to in place of Zoom.
