    Charge for viewing a recording This feature is not available for Meetings. Check out our Training or Webinar products if this is desired.
    See available storage space There is no storage limit for recordings, but the GoTo Meeting team monitors storage consumption to make sure usage is within reason. If the GoTo Meeting team notices misuse of the service, they will email you.
    Remember: Your session history data (including the recording) is stored in your account for 365 days. If you need a recording available longer, we recommend downloading the file. If it is prior to the year mark and you cannot find your recording, check the expiration date setting above.
  4. Select Save after any changes.
  5. Optional: To change the type of recording you are using, select your profile icon and then Settings > Meeting > Content. From Recordings, select the location you want to store recordings, either locally in a designated folder or online.
    Note: The type of recording available in your account depends on what your account admin has enabled in the admin settings.
If you don't see your desired entry, your session likely didn't record for which there could be a few reasons. First, the recording might not have been converted yet. See "Convert a recording" above to learn more about converting your raw file. Second, the recording might have been mislocated. If you did not change the default location, you should be able to find your recording in your Documents folder. See How do I find my recordings? to learn more about how your recording files are stored.
