Record a virtual event in Bevy Virtual Meetup

  • Updated

Hosts and moderators can record a Bevy Virtual Meetup session, stop and start multiple clips, and download the files from the Recordings tab after the event.

Hosts and moderators can record a Bevy Virtual Meetup session. You can record more than one clip in a single session and download the files from the Recordings tab after processing finishes.

Start a recording

Only hosts and moderators can record. To start a recording:

  1. Join the event as a host, or be promoted to moderator after you join.
  2. Select Record at the bottom of the screen, then confirm.
  3. Wait until the Recording indicator appears before you speak. There is about an 8-second delay between selecting Record and the recording starting.

All attendees see the recording indicator while the session is being recorded.

Tip: If you were promoted to moderator during the event and Record is unavailable, refresh your browser so Bevy can issue a new token that allows recording.

Stop or start another clip

Select Stop recording to end a clip. Each time you stop, that clip is saved. Select Record again to start a new one.

A single recording can run for up to 8 hours. If you need more than 8 hours, stop the recording and start a new clip.

Record automatically

When you create or edit the event, Auto record is enabled by default for many events. When it is on, recording starts automatically when a moderator joins. Hosts and moderators can still stop and start additional clips during the event. To turn Auto record off, clear the option on the event Details tab before publishing or when you edit the event.

Download a recording

After the event, download session recordings from the Recordings tab in the Event Dashboard (not Wrap up).

  1. From the chapter dashboard, select Events in the left sidebar.
  2. Open the event from the hosting chapter dashboard.
  3. Select the Recordings tab.
  4. Under Session video recordings, select Download next to the recording.

Files are MP4 and appear on the Recordings tab once processing finishes. Processing time varies, so check the tab rather than waiting for a delivery email. The Recordings tab is available even before the event is marked completed; files show after processing.

Tip: Download copies of recordings you want to keep. Do not rely on the dashboard as long-term storage.

Note: Recordings is for native Bevy session files. Wrap up is for featured external video links, Slideshare, and photos on a completed event page. For transcripts, summaries, Send to Media Library, raw track backups, and delete, see Manage event recordings.
