What are current reliable ways to record a video podcast with a remote guest?
I want to start a video podcast and I want a reliable way to record quality local video and audio (iso) from mainly my guest's feed.
What do you currently use and how?

I looked into paid services, like descript and riverside, but the recent reviews of those are mostly bad. ( I mean already losing a recording of 1 guest is already bad in my opinion, and then you'd be paying a huge price for those.) Online almost all good recommendations or reviews are of more than 4 months ago, where for some of those programs a lot has changed since then.

So for the last 3 weeks I've tried to tackle using vdo.ninja, with or without obs, but frustratingly enough, I haven't found a reliable way to make it work consistently either. Varying things sometimes even with supposedly the same settings work sometimes and other times, it doesn't work for different reasons or 1-all recordings have failed in some way.
So instead of trying to reinvent the wheel or getting into more frustrating weeks of testing for a reliable recording setup, what are the reliable recording setups you still use to this day?
For recording a video podcast with remote guests, getting their quality video/audio from their camera/device?
Do you require anything from your guests in advance, like what they can/can't use in their setup? I can imagine you want as little technical thought for your guests as possible but still get good quality video/audio. And if possible redundancy/backups.
BTW I record my own video with my FX30, currently set to 4k, 30fps, 10 bit internally. Is that way too high, I got like 56 GB for a 1h15min test podcast, just my feed. I also use a cheaper (40,- hdmi 4k capture card to my laptop) and a fifine microphone. Internet connection should be well, wifi up to 1gb up/down.
