"Recording saved" note may not be correct

0. Make sure your browser is set to opening a download dialog
1. Record a video
2. Hit d to download
   • download dialog opens
3. Cancel the dialog e.g. by hitting Esc
   • The interface tells you that you successfully downloaded the video

Yep, that has been an issue for a long time :/
We simply can't know for sure whether the file was saved. I certainly don't know of any way. In the end, the user can always remove the file after the download, so we can't know for sure.

What we need this "download detection" for mostly is to decide whether we let the user simply close the tab. We allow that (without warning) if the video has been up- or downloaded. We could of course just remove the "Recording saved" UI you refer to here, but still use the same logic to decide whether the user can just close the tab.

But yeah, either way, not ideal. I don't know a good solution.

Does anyone have a good idea regarding this? Otherwise I would close this as "not ideal, but not terrible and also not really solvable".
