Recording Meeting Tips

When recording a meeting, consider the following:

If you use the Video Pod to broadcast audio to meeting attendees, all audio is recorded automatically.
The meeting recording is assigned a URL and added to the Recordings page associated with the meeting room in Adobe Connect Central. To play a recording, you need an Internet connection, the recording URL, and permission to view it.

Record a Meeting

Go to the meeting you want to record.
Click Meeting.
Click Record Session at the beginning of your meeting.
In the Record Session dialog box, enter a Recording Name and summary for the meeting recording.
While recording a meeting, if your audio is disabled, enable it by selecting the Turn on Audio Conference option or you can continue without audio by clicking the Record Without Audio button.
A recording icon appears in the menu bar to indicate that the meeting is being recorded. You can pause an ongoing recording. Anything you do in the live meeting during the time you pause the recording is not recorded.
If a problem occurs during the recording an error message appears in the upper-right corner of the window. You can try to reconnect to the conference audio, record the meeting without audio or stop the recording.

Stop Recording a Meeting

From the Meeting menu, click Stop Recording.
The meeting recording is saved and is available for playback at any time.

Add a Reminder to Record the Session

You can user this feature to initiate a reminder to hosts to record a session.

Click Meeting.
Click Preferences
Click General.
Select the checkbox to Remind Me to Start Recording the Session.
Click Done.

Note: This feature is enabled only when force recording is turned off.

About Editing Meeting Recordings

After recording a meeting or training session, you can use the built-in editor to remove sections of the recording. The editor is useful if the recording contains periods of silence or unnecessary information. Following are some tips for editing recordings:

To edit a meeting or virtual classroom recording in the Content library, you must have Manage/Host/Owner or higher permissions for the recording. If you created the meeting or virtual classroom, you have these rights by default.
To edit a recording under Meeting > Recordings or Training > Recordings, you must have Host permissions. You can create an index using time tags to enable participants to easily view and navigate through the recording. You can also edit/delete the existing auto-generated time tags.
In addition, you can also create sections within a recording using chapter markers. You can hide the names of participant interacting over chat and retain the content of these interactions.
The last edited version of the recording is saved and includes all information from earlier editing sessions. The link to your recording does not change after editing. Users given the link and rights to access the recording see the most recent version saved, including any edits that were made.
Multiple users can open a recording in edit mode at the same time. However, after one user saves their changes, others editing at the same time receive an error when they try to save their changes.
In addition, you can also hide Chat Pod, Attendee Pod, or Q&A Pod or a combination of these pods. To protect the privacy of individuals, you can also hide the names of the attendees.

Edit a Recorded Meeting

Editing a recording is useful if the recording contains sections of silence or unnecessary information that you want to remove before making the recording available.

From the Adobe Connect Central home page, click Meetings or Training, and then click the meeting that includes the recording.
Click Recordings.
Click Edit Recording in the Actions pop-up menu, next to the recording that you want to edit.
Simply click the Play button to search for places that require editing or drag the progress marker to a specific location.
Event Index Show/Hide
1. Rewind 15 seconds
2. Pause
3. Forward 15 seconds
4. Selection markers
5. Cut
6. Undo cut
7. Volume control
Use the selection markers to specify the areas of the recording you want to remove and click Cut.
(Optional) At the left of the meeting window, click A to show the Events Index pane, where you can Navigate to specific events in recordings.
(Optional) To remove changes, click Undo to remove individual edits made you last saved to restore the recording to its original state.
Remove any additional sections.
When you have finished, click Save.

View, Edit, or Delete Recordings

In addition to viewing, editing or deleting the bookmarks, you can also add chapters in the recordings. Chapters can be added at any point along the recording timeline bar for the existing bookmarks. Chapters allow you to highlight changes at places within the recording that can be referred for discussions.

In the panel at the left corner, the bookmarks for all recordings are seen with timestamps. Click a bookmark to open a recording right to bookmarked time.
To add a chapter name, click on Add Chapter. The chapter is added above the selected bookmark.
To edit the name of the bookmark, hover over the bookmark and click Edit (). The Edit Bookmark dialog box opens.
You can permanently remove a bookmark if you no longer need it. In the bookmarked tab, hover over the bookmark and click Delete

Watch a video from Adobe Connect about Recordings: Record and play back Adobe Connect meetings

Play Back a Recorded Meeting

A host or presenter makes the recording URL available so attendees can play the recording. Every recording is automatically assigned a unique URL and is stored on the Recordings tab for the meeting room in Adobe Connect Central.

When you play a recording, a recording navigation bar appears in a space below the meeting room. For optimal performance, a high-speed Internet connection is recommended for recording playback.

A. Pause/Play toggle button B. Progress marker C. Elapsed/total time

CAUTION: You signed a COA form stating you are responsible for what is posted in APAN. This includes recordings. Ensure your recordings are not public. You control who has access to the recording:

Any user invited to the meeting using the invitees or enrollee tabs in Adobe Connect Central can view the recording if given the recording URL.
Hosts can view information, such as permissions, if they have rights to browse to the Adobe Connect Central folder where the recording is stored.
You can move the recording to the Content library and set specific user permissions (moving the recording to the Content library is irreversible.)

Play a Recording from Adobe Connect Central (Hosts/Presenters Only)

From the Adobe Connect Central home page, click Meetings or Training, and then click the meeting that includes the recording.
Click the Recordings option.
Click the name of the recording.
Do one of the following:
- To view the last edited version of the recording, click the URL For Viewing.
- To view the full, original, unedited version of the recording, click View Original.
You either view the original version of the recording or the latest edited version; multiple edited versions of the recording are not saved. (If the recording was never edited, the URL For Viewing is the same as View Original.)

Play a Recording from a URL (for Participants)

Hosts and Presenters typically share a recording with the attendees by sending an email containing the URL of the recording.
Click the recording URL that the presenter sent to you.
The recording opens in your browser and is ready for playback.
If you are unable to open the recording, check if you have the permission to access the recording.
