Hi Proton Meet Team,

I'd like to provide feedback on the usability of the recording feature in Proton Meet and request a change to this feature.

Current Problem:
- I conducted a video call with recording enabled
- When leaving the call, the download popup disappeared before I could click it
- The recorded file is now nowhere to be found on my system
- Neither in the Downloads folder nor anywhere else can I locate the MP4 file

Background: Local storage without cloud backup is an important privacy feature for me. However, the intermediate step of an active download via popup after call end represents a UX risk. If the popup is missed, accidentally closed, or technically fails to display, the entire recording is lost.

My Suggestion:
Please implement an automatic download without popup confirmation, where the file is saved directly to the default local Downloads directory after the call ends.
Optional addition: After leaving the call, show a summary page that displays download progress and confirms the file path.

Why This Matters:
For many users (myself included), the workflow is not intuitive. With other meeting tools, recordings are either automatically available in the cloud or stored locally without requiring manual confirmation steps. The current combination of local storage + manual download via a time-limited popup creates significant data loss risk.

I hope this suggestion helps your product development. Proton Meet has great potential as a privacy-first video conferencing tool – small UX optimizations would significantly improve the user experience.

Thank you for your work!
