Activating cloud recording after meeting link has been created - can this be done?

[GTMuser20]

Hi fellow users,

We just realized that activating cloud recording before starting a meeting did not seem to work.

It seems that cloud recording needs to be enabled before meeting link is created and the cloud recording will then work. Is this true for everyone? And if anyone knows if anything can be done to enable cloud recording for a meeting link that has been created and disseminated to attendees?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi @GTMuser20 

You can activate or de-activate this function at any time, and it will affect all your scheduled meeting options (except any broadcasts currently in session).  There is no need to re-schedule the meetings.  

Are you able to record to the cloud currently?

Hi @AshC 

Many thanks for your response - we just figured out that cloud recording will not work with password-enabled meetings. Have also found a discussion thread suggesting to lock the meeting after all the participants are in, but this may be difficult for those who may need to try log out and log in again due to, say, technical disruption.

The reason we need cloud recording is because of the video recordiing of the participants as well, which is not the case for local recordings. I suppose there's no other alternative to enable both security and video recording, but please do let me know if you have  an alternative solution.

Thank you!
