Hello PsychoPy community.

I am trying to find out if I could, technically, record participants via web camera and store the video files as data on Pavlovia. My main question is whether Pavlovia servers would accept a request to store fairly large video files (~30 minutes per participant).

Writing code to capture and store data seems possible–I’ve seen this post for local studies using [openCV](https://discourse.psychopy.org/t/video-recording-with-webcam/3546).

Thanks!
