Record video calls

If you have a Pro or Plus subscription plan, you can record video calls to watch them later. You can download your recordings, but you don’t have to as ExpertBox safely stores them in the cloud.

Keep in mind: Your storage space is limited by your subscription plan and storage package. If you exceed your storage limit, older files will be automatically deleted. To get more space, you can upgrade your storage plan.

Start and pause recordings

When you’re on a video call, you can start recording by clicking the Record icon. This will record videos of all call participants with a turned-on camera/shared screen along with all audio.

All call participants can see that video is being recorded. Want to keep something off the record? Simply click the Pause icon.

Access recordings

After the call, you’ll get in-app and email notifications when the video call recording is ready. You can then access the recording from the Video call recordings section on your appointment card.

Recording layout

The video call recording will display a grid layout with videos of all participants who had their cameras turned on.

If someone was sharing a screen, the recording will show only the shared screen for the duration of the screen sharing.
