## Step 3: Create AWS S3 Bucket
## Create AWS S3 Bucket
Daily.co needs somewhere to store recordings before Reflector processes them.
```bash

## Step 4: Create IAM Role for Daily.co
## Create IAM Role for Daily.co
Daily.co needs permission to write recordings to your S3 bucket.
### Create Trust Policy
Follow the guide https://docs.daily.co/guides/products/live-streaming-recording/storing-recordings-in-a-custom-s3-bucket
Create `daily-trust-policy.json`:
```json
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"AWS": "arn:aws:iam::741088605061:root"
},
"Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"sts:ExternalId": "daily-co"
}
}
}
]
}
```
Save the role ARN - you'll need it soon.
**Note**: `741088605061` is Daily.co's AWS account ID (this is public and correct).
It looks like: `arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/DailyCo`
### Create the Role
Shortly, you'll need to set up a role and give this role your s3 bucket access
```bash
aws iam create-role \
--role-name DailyCo \
--assume-role-policy-document file://daily-trust-policy.json
```
### Create Permission Policy
Create `daily-s3-policy.json` (replace `BUCKET_NAME`):
```json
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:PutObject",
"s3:PutObjectAcl",
"s3:GetObject",
"s3:GetObjectAcl",
"s3:DeleteObject"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::BUCKET_NAME/*"
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:ListBucket",
"s3:GetBucketLocation"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::BUCKET_NAME"
}
]
}
```
### Attach Policy to Role
```bash
aws iam put-role-policy \
--role-name DailyCo \
--policy-name DailyCoS3Access \
--policy-document file://daily-s3-policy.json
```
### Get the Role ARN
```bash
aws iam get-role --role-name DailyCo --query 'Role.Arn' --output text
```
Save this ARN - you'll need it in Step 6.
Output looks like: `arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/DailyCo`
No additional setup is required from Daily.co settings website side: the app code takes care of letting Daily know where to save the recordings.

## Step 5: Configure Daily.co to Use Your S3
## Configure Reflector
**Official Documentation**: For detailed instructions, see Daily.co's guide on [Storing Recordings in a Custom S3 Bucket](https://docs.daily.co/guides/products/live-streaming-recording/storing-recordings-in-a-custom-s3-bucket)
**Quick Setup:**
1. Go to Daily.co dashboard → **Developers****Recording**
2. Select **Amazon S3**
3. Enter:
- **Bucket Name**: Your bucket name from Step 3
- **Bucket Region**: `us-east-1` (or your chosen region)
- **Role ARN**: The ARN from Step 4
4. Click **Save**
5. Daily.co will verify it can access your bucket

**Location: YOUR SERVER (via SSH)**
**Location: Reflector server**
Add to `server/.env`:
```bash
ssh user@your-server
cd ~/reflector

```
Add these lines:

## Step 8: Test Live Room
## Test Live Room
1. Visit your Reflector frontend: `https://app.example.com`
2. Go to **Rooms** (or `/rooms`)
3. Click **Create Room** or use test room
4. Click **Join Meeting**
5. Allow camera/microphone access
6. You should see Daily.co video interface

## Troubleshooting
### "Failed to create room"
Check `server/.env`:
- `DAILY_API_KEY` is correct
- `DAILY_SUBDOMAIN` matches your Daily.co account
- Restart server after changes
### Recording doesn't appear in S3
1. Check Daily.co dashboard → **Logs** for errors
2. Verify IAM role trust policy has correct Daily.co account ID
3. Test S3 permissions:
```bash
aws s3 ls s3://your-bucket-name

## Webhook Configuration
## Webhook Configuration [optional]
Reflector automatically configures the Daily.co webhook when the server starts if:
- `DAILY_API_KEY` is set
- `DAILY_SUBDOMAIN` is set
- `BASE_URL` is accessible from the internet
`manage_daily_webhook.py` script guides you through creating a webhook for Daily recordings.
The webhook URL will be: `https://api.example.com/v1/webhooks/daily`
The webhook isn't required - polling mechanism is the default and performed automatically.
To manually check webhook:
```bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_DAILY_API_KEY" \
https://api.daily.co/v1/webhooks
```

## Costs
**Daily.co Free Tier:**
- 10,000 participant minutes/month
- Good for ~40 hours of meetings
**AWS S3 Costs:**
- Storage: ~$0.023/GB/month
- 1 hour meeting ≈ 500MB recording
- Example: 10 hours/month ≈ $0.12/month
**Modal.com Processing:**
- Transcription: ~$0.01-0.05 per minute of audio
- Diarization: ~$0.02-0.10 per minute of audio
This guide won't go deep into webhook setup.
