📝 SummarySummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe LiveKit room composite egress request now sets an explicit grid layout, default audio mixing, MP4 output, S3 destination, and H264 1080p encoding. New tests verify these request fields. Call recording documentation now describes equal camera tiles without screen sharing and a shared-screen stage with cameras in a side strip during screen sharing. Stop behavior documentation states that stopping does not change the layout selected at recording start. Priority: ⬇️ Low Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Room-composite recordings now use a grid layout that can promote screen sharing, but the Calls documentation may incorrectly imply every new recording stages a shared screen. Clarify the no-screen-share state before merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4✅ Passed checks (4 passed)

Describe the no-screen-share state for new recordings.
These lines can imply that every new recording stages a shared screen. State that new recordings use equal camera tiles when no screen is shared, then describe the stage-and-strip layout during screen sharing.

Only set layout to grid. Leave the rest of the egress options on Default. Co-authored-by: Will Hutchinson <will@thehutchery.com>

An empty LiveKit layout stays a camera grid for the whole call. The stock template only promotes a share when layout starts with grid.
Note
Low Risk
Recording layout and documentation only; no auth or call-control logic changes, with behavior covered by new egress request tests.
Overview
Room-composite call recordings now pass LiveKit layout
gridinstead of leaving layout empty, so the stock composite template can switch from equal camera tiles to a full-stage screen share with cameras in a strip for the rest of the recording.The
CallRtcClientdocs and the Calls surface guide describe that behavior for reviewers and users. New unit tests lock in the egress request:gridlayout, no custom template URL, single MP4 undercalls/{room}/{time}, S3 destination, and browser-friendly H.264/AAC encoding.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit fce50d8.
