Recording

Availability

The meeting client's recording controls are available to the Host and Moderator in the main room, not inside breakout rooms. Individual recording locks can block them. Cloud recording also depends on the meeting feature and storage/billing eligibility; a dashboard recording switch alone does not guarantee that recording can start.

Start and Stop

1. Open Record in the meeting controls where available.
2. Choose Cloud Recording or Local Recording.
3. Wait for the recording state to become active and check for errors.
4. Use the active recording control to stop.

The current control offers start and stop, not pause/resume. It prevents starting local recording while cloud recording is active and vice versa.

Cloud Recording

The client requests recording from the recording service and waits for the room's recording status to update. A successful request is not itself a finished recording. After capture and processing, check Recordings or the available meeting-record action. Processing has no guaranteed completion time in this workflow.

If cloud recording is blocked, review the displayed reason and ask your administrator about feature, storage, or billing restrictions. Do not assume the meeting cannot continue just because cloud recording is unavailable.

Local Recording

Local recording uses browser media recording, a composed video canvas, and available meeting audio tracks. It requires a supported browser and usable media sources. The file is downloaded when recording stops, using MP4 if supported or a WebM fallback.

Keep the meeting tab open until saving/download has begun, then verify the file on your device before leaving. A browser crash, closed tab, unsupported codec, or failed save can lose the recording. Local files are not automatically uploaded to the dashboard.

Content and Consent

Capture depends on the recording mode, rendered content, and available media tracks. Do not assume every participant video, embedded activity, breakout conversation, or chat message is captured. Transcripts and public chat are separate meeting-record components.
