Local recordings are video/audio recordings that are captured directly on each participant's device, providing very high-quality and high-resolution video footage.
This is vital for:
Retaining video quality in different layouts, such as speaker view or picture-in-picture.
Creating content suitable for social media, where high video quality is essential.
Have those presenters whose video is usually blurry from bad WiFi?
No longer a worry if you have local recordings on. Local recordings are unaffected by internet bandwidth or connectivity issues and don’t need to be compressed down.
Enabling Local Recordings
From any event’s “Media” tab, click on the "Local Recordings" toggle to turn local recordings capability on for that event.
How to Use Local Recordings
1. Begin the Event: Start your event as the host. A notification will confirm local recording is enabled and provide some instructions.
2. Going Live: When you press "Go Live," each participant's feed is recorded locally. Verify in the media tab that recordings for you and your presenters are in progress.
3. During the Webinar: Continue with your webinar normally. No extra steps are needed for recording, and only active speakers will be recorded.
4. Ending the Webinar: After you end the event, all hosts and presenters should remain on the event until all local recordings are uploaded. The media tab will display notifications for this.
5. Ensure Recording Completion: If a presenter leaves prematurely, you’ll be alerted. The presenter can rejoin via the event link, and the upload will resume. Once completed, they are free to disconnect.
Finding Recordings Post-Event
Just with any other recordings within Sequel, you'll find local recordings of your event in the Media Hub within its own folder.
To help differentiate, the video assets will be named per the date and speaker name that was recorded.
For example: July 14th - Shelly Cointrue - Local Recording
