Step 7) Access and enable session recordings

All moderated sessions that are broadcasted, are being recorded. This article describes where you can find them, and how to make them visible to the attendees after the event.

Where can I download the session recording?

The recordings can be accessed through the Virtual & Interactivity page, Backstage access & recordings tab. Click the session you want to review the recordings of.

There are two types of recordings:

  • Pre-recordings: speakers can pre-record their presentation instead of presenting it live.

  • Session recordings: a moderated session is recorded from the moment the moderator starts broadcasting until they stop it.

The slides and speaker frames are recorded separately in two different files for both types. The audio is added to both files. You can see the start time of the recording and its size. Furthermore, you can download the individual slides or speaker files, edit the recording name, or delete the recording.

You can also create a combined video to get one file of both the speaker and slide recording. The speaker recording is shown in the top-right of the slides, as picture-in-picture.

How can I make the session recordings visible to the attendees?

You can release the recordings in batches or one-by-one.

Batch edit

1. Go to Data

2. Select the sessions for which you'd like to release the recordings

3. Click on Edit Selected

4. In the menu that opens:

  • Virtual session: select "On-demand recording"
  • Type to use as on-demand recording: choose either Session Recording or Pre-recording. In both cases, the most recent recording will be added.
  • Classifier to add to on-demand recordings: select a classifier (optional).

4. Make a release to the app (Publish > Create release).

Tip! Create a classifier "on-demand" and add a classifier icon to it for easy recognition in the programme.
