In this article, you'll learn where to find your session recordings and how to manage them. You will have options to hide recordings, delete, crop clips, upload more recordings, and more.
Additionally, attendees can view recordings during the post-event access window, which is configurable by the event organizer, ensuring flexibility in access duration.
Locate The Session Recordings
To find your session recordings, open your session for editing and select the Recording tab. Note that this tab will say "Broadcasting" if the session is still in the future. Once the session is over, you should be able to access the Recordings tab.
The latest recording will be on top of the list, with the recording name indicating the date and time when it was recorded. You can also see the duration of each recording.
Available Video Recordings
The videos that will be available are recordings coming from Main Stage and Regular Sessions for Accelevents Studio, RTMP and direct upload, and Workshop sessions. If you're using other stream providers (e.g., Zoom, Youtube etc.), or Networking sessions, there won't be any recordings.
Is there an option to use the direct upload stream provider and stream multiple videos in 1 session?
No, there isn't. The session must be in the past to upload another video, and attendees can choose it from the recording menu.
Can my speakers record their talk through the studio and have them play during the session?
Yes, they can record their talk and upload it using Direct Upload as the stream provider. They can download the recording of their talk from the recording tab of the session.
Recording Menu Options
When the session ends, the Broadcasting tab will change to the Recording tab, where you'll see other options for your session recordings including downloading the video file, creating clips, selecting which video will be shown to attendee post event and more. 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.
Notes:
Deleted recordings can no longer be retrieved
Created video clips cannot be downloaded
Clips cannot be created for workshop recordings
View the Recording as an Attendee
To view the recording after it has ended, attendees must click the View Recording button from the session in the event hub. If the session has only 1 visible recording, attendees will see the video right away. For sessions with multiple recordings, attendees will see a pop-up after they click the view recording button, where they can select which of the recordings they want to watch.
If a session does not have any recording or the recording are hidden, then the View Recording button is also hidden.
Attendees must also ensure their ticket type grants them access to the session recording. The duration of access is determined by the post-event access window, commonly set to 30 days but adjustable by the organizer.
Once inside the session, they should see the Recordings tab, where they can select other video clips to play. If a video is playing, the thumbnail image will be replaced with "Playing."
In the attendee app, there isn't a Recordings tab when the attendee is viewing the session, the video that will play is the first recording in the list.
Notes:
There is no option to continuously watch multiple recordings in a session. Attendees must click the next recording for it to play. We suggest downloading all the recordings and edit them as one video.
If you had a session waiting media (video on loop) included in the session, this will also show in the recording.
There is no indicator of an attendee has already watched a video.
The default post-event access window for recordings is 30 days, but this can be adjusted by the event organizer.
