Web-hosted video recording and associated systems and methods

A non-transitory storage medium storing program code for video recording from a third-party website viewed on a user device, the program code executable by a hardware processor at a recording server, the program code when executed by the hardware processor causing the hardware processor to:

• receive, from the user device, an iframe request in response to a user recording request on the third-party website, wherein the third-party website is hosted on a third-party server and enables a user to initiate a recording on the user device, wherein the iframe request comprises a signed token associated with a user access request to the third-party server, and wherein the signed token was received by the user device from the third-party server;
• verify a signature of the signed token using public key cryptography, wherein the program code to verify comprises program code to obtain a key associated with the third-party server from a recording database;
• transmit an iframe recorder interface code to the user device, in response to the verifying of the signature of the signed token, wherein the iframe recorder interface code comprises program code for generating an iframe for display on the third-party website at the user device;
• receive, from the iframe on the user device, a session validation request;
• generate a recording session in response to receiving the session validation request by program code to:
• validate the recording session by associating the recording session with the third-party server, and
• transmit a validation response to the iframe;
• and
• receive, from the iframe on the user device, a recording action request, in response to receiving a recording action to control a recording on the user device.
