How to Record a Session
In the Broadcasting tab of the session edit menu, you'll see a toggle to Record This Session. If the toggle is turned on, the recording will start when the broadcast starts for the main stage or regular session, and for a workshop, it will start recording when someone enters the session.
Important Notes:
If a workshop runs longer than 3 hours, no portion of the workshop will be recorded.
The recording will start once someone enters the Workshop
The recording will start once the Start Broadcast button is clicked for Accelevents Studio
The recording will start once you start broadcasting live from your 3rd party streamer when using Accelevents RTMP
When captioning is turned on, the recording will include the captions. However, it will not appear on the downloaded video file.
Using RTMP as a stream provider is not available for Free Plans
Recording Options
When the session ends, the Broadcasting tab will change to the Recording tab, where you'll see other options for your session recordings. Note that you can access the recordings and other recording options if the session is already in the past.

You will have several clips if the broadcast is stopped and started again, so even your tests in that same session will be listed in the Recording tab if you recorded them. The recordings that are set as visible in the list are what your attendees can watch when they click the View Recording button from the event hub.
