There are many variables to consider when accounting for the file sizes of session recordings in a project. The output is highly variable and based on many considerations:
- The number of participants, particularly those publishing video and audio.
- The participants' internet speeds and the quality of their video streams. High-definition video publishing greatly increases data output.
- The quality and amount of stimuli shared in the interview.
- The length of the interview.
- The activity of the interview. More dialog increases the audio output.
Because of the number of variables involved when compiling the data for the recording, it is difficult to determine in advance the given file size for any interview. A 60-minute interview can generally fall between the 500MB-2500MB range due to all of the above factors.
We currently recommend limiting the length of your interviews to 4 hours. Discuss can support longer recordings however it is not generally advised due to how long that recordings, it's clips & transcripts will take to be generated.
