Recording meetings
A meeting host, moderator, or delegate can record meetings. When you record a meeting, Amazon Chime records the audio and, if you share media during the meeting, the content of any media tiles. The host, moderator, or delegate who turns on recording receives the recording in a chat message once the meeting ends.
Note
-
Amazon Chime only records video when someone shares their screen. Any parts of a meeting without a screen share are blank during playback. Meeting recordings don't include attendee video tiles.
Recording files appear in the regular Amazon Chime chat window, not the meeting window. The recording files appear in the navigation pane under Recent Messages. This image shows a typical recording message.

When meeting attendees join a meeting that you record, Amazon Chime notifies them that you've started recording. When you stop recording, the attendees receive an update that you've stopped recording. Recording automatically stops when the meeting ends.
The meeting host, moderator, or delegate that started the recording receives the recording in a regular Amazon Chime chat message, not the meeting window. However, if a moderator or delegate starts the meeting from their phone or a conference system, only the host receives the recording. The host also receives the recording if the moderator or delegate who started recording isn't signed in to Amazon Chime.
Amazon Chime sends M4A files for recordings that only include audio. If a presenter uses screen share during a recorded meeting, Amazon Chime sends an MP4 file. Any portions of the meeting that don't include screen sharing are blank during video playback.
Note
Recorded meeting files can be large. To share them with attendees, we recommend that you upload them to a file-sharing service such as Amazon WorkDocs. Once uploaded, you can share the file link with attendees.
