What is the limit for the number of streams in one account OpenTok?

I want to create a website that allows users to record and store videos online. I will use OpenTok to record the video. If I use one OpenTok account, how many users can record and store their video at the same time?

    There is no limit on the number of recordings that you can have per account. If each user is recording themselves and are in a different session, they can record simultaneously without any limit.

    However, if you need to record multiple streams in one session, you can only record up to 9 simultaneous streams in a Composed Archive. If you need to record more than 9 streams in one session, you can use Individual Archiving to record up to 50 streams at one time per session.
