Media Recording.

Audio and video records begin with an intentional source selection and end with an artifact a person can review. This collection focuses on the steps in between: capture state, transfer, validation, preparation, and access. Read the audio guide for chunk identity and bounded uploads; use the video guide to connect source selection, quality budgets, captions, and playback. The emphasis is a clear lifecycle, not a claim that pressing Stop finishes every background operation. Each guide separates illustrative architecture from the browser behavior supported by its linked technical reference. Start with one tested recording path and use its failure cases to decide which features belong in the next iteration.
