How do I manage my recordings? (Classic)

Preview, delete, edit, or download your recordings, among other things, all in one simple place. This gives you all of the control you need to effectively manage your recordings before sharing them, but without the all of the inefficiencies.

All of these features are available for online recordings. Any sessions locally recorded on your computer will need to be converted and uploaded (see below for steps) before these features become applicable.
  1. Sign in to your account at https://global.gototraining.com.
  2. Optional: To change your preferred recording method, select Settings > Recording and then select your desired option:
    • Online recording: Have your recordings automatically saved online (recommended) – With this option, your session recordings will be automatically saved to the My Recordings page of your online account. From there you can view, download and share them with attendees. In addition, any registration or payment settings that you set up for the session will be automatically applied to the recording and you can choose to include webcams in your recording (only available on Pro and Plus plans).
    • Local recording: Have your recordings saved locally on your computer – With this option, your session recordings will be saved as a file on your local hard drive. In order to view or share them with attendees, the recording file will need to be converted to a different format (.MP4). After the session, you will need to manually convert them to a different format using the Recording Manager, and then upload them to the My Recordings page of your online account.
    Attention: Any changes made will affect all future sessions (even those that are already scheduled).
  3. Optional: To more easily find recordings, enter a minimum of 3 text characters into the search bar and/or use the status filter to narrow down the results.
  4. Optional: To make changes to a specific recording entry, select My Recordings, find the desired entry, and then select what you would like to do: (Please note that there are a few options in this table that are not specific to a particular entry and/or are completed outside of the My Recordings tab as detailed below)

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 Locate Recording Files to learn more about how your recording files are stored.
What to do next: Once the recording entry is set to your liking, you can easily share it with your attendees.
