How can i fully automate recordings?

There are many tools for task scheduling, for Linux you may want to check cron, for MacOS either launchd or cron and for Windows Task Scheduler.

My organization requires its own login and doesn't have a supported backend, what can i do?

I encourage you to try implement it yourself and maybe do a PR to include it in the project officially, but you can aswell write an issue asking for it.

What can I do if the software doesnt work?

If it doesnt work due to an invalid argument it might print what's the issue or report a stacktrace, if its due to an incorrect argument like a wrong password it will still record a video that shows what went wrong. If the problem is none of the above (a bug perhaps) feel free to report the issue or open a PR if you managed to fix it.
