If you really want a service that has good recording in-built I would suggest BigBlueButton. For conferences and webinars where you want to have a really useful record, the recording feature in BigBlueButton is stellar. You can start and stop as you wish and it will seamlessly put it together into one stream. It records the chat and slides (if any) and in playback you can manipulate to focus on what you want. And you can immediately forward to a particular slide and the discussion around that. There's also a failsafe if you forget to actually press record, which allows you to resurrect the whole thing if you catch it in time (i think 24 hours). It's really an unbelievably good recording solution and one that is properly built into the server, as a major feature, rather than an add on.
That's all true, the recording and playback experience on BigBlueButton is exceptional.
But it's also true that BigBlueButton doesn't spit out a nice simple downloadable .mp4 video that you can just upload wherever (like Zoom does)
The great BigBlueButton recording and playback separately records and then syncs and mixes the webcams, presentation, audio and chat and allows people watching the playback to scroll back and forth and toggle the views on/ off. But you can only do that on the server via Greenlight (the BigBlueButton front end) not on YouTube or whatever.
