I. Introduction to Boardable Video Recordings

Meeting recording is supported for organizations on the Professional and Enterprise service levels.

Recordings are optional. They need to be manually started by a participant. If this is not done, no recording is made.

Meetings can be recorded and sent to attendees, viewed by attendees, published to the Public Meeting Page, and saved to the document center.

Only admins, meeting creators / owners, and meeting collaborators can record a meeting.

When a video conference is being recorded, the text Recording is displayed at the top of all participants' conferencing screens.

Recordings can be stopped and started to capture different portions of the meeting. Each recording can have its own visibility, sharing, and storage settings.

Recordings are stored on the meeting page, within a Recordings and Summaries tab which displays after a recording is complete. Recordings can also be added to the Document Center, and emailed to attendees.

IV. Troubleshooting

If “Meeting not recorded” is displayed in the Recording field on the Summary & Recording tab of a meeting page, this means that no participant began a recording by completing the manual steps described in this help article.

Recordings are not automatic. If no participant clicks Record > Start recording during a meeting, no recording is created. This selection cannot be undone after the meeting.

This is true regardless of whether a transcript and/or summary are provided. Transcripts and summaries are created independently of video recordings. The first two of these items are created automatically if enabled in organization settings.

This means it’s possible for a meeting to have a transcript and summary, yet no video recording.

However, if “Recording processing” displays in this field, please contact Support for assistance.
