The group recording feature is currently in beta. Reach out to [email protected] with any questions or feedback.

Creating a Group Recording

The host of a group recording session is known in Wistia as the producer. To begin a new group recording session, click the plus sign at the top of the page and select Record > Record with others.

Note: You must be an Account Owner or Manager, or have upload permissions for at least one folder to start a new recording session.

You’ll arrive on the recording settings page to select a display name, microphone, camera, and device speakers. Click Enter to access the recording room. If you’re having trouble granting access to your camera, microphone, or screen, refer to our troubleshooting guide.

You’ll immediately be prompted to copy a link to invite others to the recording session. You can copy this link again at the bottom left of the recording page at any time.

Producer Actions

To start recording a clip, click the Record button in the bottom left corner of the page. The producer can pause and restart the recording anytime during the session to allow participants to take breaks and reset throughout.

The producer of a group recording can complete the following actions in the recording room:

  • Start and end the recording.

  • Invite others to join the recording.

  • Add and remove participants from the stage.

  • Share their screen.

  • Switch between Tile and Full layouts.

  • Send messages in the private chat.

  • View the status of uploaded clips.

  • End and save the recording.

Recording as a Guest

Anonymous recording participants can complete the following actions in the recording room:

  • Manager camera and microphone settings.

  • Send messages in the private chat.

  • View the status of uploaded clips.

  • Leave the recording session.

Saving a Recording

Once all clips have been uploaded successfully, you can end the session by clicking End at the bottom right of the page. You’ll be prompted to save the recording to a folder or delete it permanently.

Note

Ensure you do not navigate away from the recording page before all clips are uploaded completely, otherwise the recording will be lost.
