What Is an Online Meeting Recording?

An online meeting recording is a saved copy of a meeting held over a web platform, capturing the audio, video, and any screen share.

Online Meeting Recording

An online meeting recording captures a call that takes place over an internet platform, so the discussion is kept rather than lost when the call ends. It works across the many tools people use for online meetings.

It helps when someone cannot attend, or when the details of the call matter after it wraps.

For example, you record a kickoff call so a colleague who joins the project later can watch it.

How Does an Online Meeting Recording Work?

  1. Start – Begin recording once the meeting is underway.
  2. Capture – Record the audio, video, and shared screens.
  3. Stop – End it when the call finishes.
  4. Save – Store the file for playback.
  5. Share – Send the recording or its notes onward.

Why Is an Online Meeting Recording Important?

  1. Catch Up – Give absentees the full call.
