# Recording a videoconference in Talkspirit


You can record any videoconference you take part in. When recording stops, Talkspirit converts it to an MP4 file and saves it in the **Recordings** section of the drive, where every participant with a Talkspirit account can find it. Any participant can start or stop the recording during the call, provided an administrator has enabled recording for your organisation.

Recording must be enabled for your organisation before anyone can use it. An administrator turns it on under **Administration → Tools**, with the **Recording** toggle on the **Videoconference** card.

## How do I start recording a videoconference?

You start a recording from the meeting toolbar once you have joined a videoconference. First you need a videoconference link. This can be:

- A link generated from a chat room
- A link generated from an event
- Your personal public videoconference link

Once participants have joined the room:

1. Click the **three dots** icon in the meeting toolbar.
2. Select **Start recording**.
3. In the confirmation dialog, select **Start recording** again to begin.

When recording starts, **REC** appears at the top of the meeting screen and every participant sees a recording notification.

## How do I stop the recording?

1. Click the **three dots** icon.
2. Select **Stop recording**.
3. Confirm to stop.

If you do not stop the recording manually, it stops automatically when the last participant leaves the room.

## Where do I find the recording?

You find recordings in the **Recordings** section of the drive. When the recording is ready, a notification confirms that it is available.

The **Recordings** view is personal: you see only the recordings of videoconferences you took part in. Every participant with a Talkspirit account gets their own copy in the same place.

## How do I share a recording?

Someone who was not in the meeting can still receive a recording if you share it with them.

1. Open the **Recordings** section of the drive.
2. Select the recording.
3. Select **Share**.
4. Choose the recipients.

The recording then appears in each recipient's **Recordings** view.

## How do I move a recording to a different drive?

You can move a recording to another drive. Once moved, it follows the permissions of the destination drive:

- Moved to a **group drive**: only group members can open it.
- Moved to a **personal drive**: only the owner and the members they share it with can open it.
