Daily's API will let you record the stream as a MP4 video file stored on Amazon S3 where it's immediately available after the live stream ends. Everything happens automatically on the same server that encodes the live stream.

Pavlov’s comment is correct. I came to add that soon the stream can be stored on customer’s own S3. Ergo, you’d be able to do a call in real-time, store it on your S3 account and make it available for streaming.

On your own S3, this would be a multipart upload.

If we use Vimeo for video hosting would there be some way to automatically post to Vimeo or some other way to get the file up there and available for immediate viewing? Other approaches besides S3?
If Vimeo offers an ingest API using either RTMP(S) or HLS, that would be one way to get the stream from Daily directly to them without any extra processing step in between.
