Asynchronous Recording

Would be useful to have an async recording functionality - letting guests record without the host present. Similar to this:

Would love the ability to share a link to asynchronously record podcast guests, customers, or subject matter experts—without needing to host or approve each guest’s request to join in real time.
This would make it so much easier to gather footage/conduct interviews without having to use something like VideoAsk.
How it might work:
1. Send an email or DM to your guest with a Rooms or online recorder link and instructions/questions either as text or a short video message via Descript web link/embed.
2. The guest joins and record their responses on their own schedule—no need for you to be present or approve their request to join.
- Once finished, their recording is uploaded directly to your Descript project ready to edit, repurpose, or analyze with Underlord.
- All guest recordings are automatically added to a single Descript project, ready for editing or repurposing with tools like Underlord.
Use cases for content marketing & product marketing:
•Gathering video testimonials to create highlight reels or social clips
•Interviewing multiple experts for an article or video
•Collecting screen recordings from SaaS customers demonstrating how they use your product
