Overview
Local recording helps you record meetings quickly and conveniently. It can save the meeting video and shared content in your local folder.

Notes
Recording process
During recording, you cannot change the recording file storage path.
If a meeting ends during recording or you are kicked out, recording will stop and the recording file will be converted automatically.
The host and co-hosts are mutually exclusive in local and cloud recording, who share the same start/pause/resume/end operations.
Recording permission
The VooV Meeting app does not support local recording but can control the recording permission.
If the permission is Allow selected attendees to record, Allow Recording/Forbid Recording are displayed in Attendees > More.
If the permission is changed from Allow all attendees to record to Allow selected attendees to record, all attendees can still keep their recording permission, the Attendees > More > Forbid Recording option will be displayed for the host to disable recording for a specified attendee, and new attendees after the change cannot record the meeting.
When the recording permission is Allow selected attendees to record, if you revoke the co-host role from an attendee, the Allow Recording permission will be kept by default. When the recording permission is changed from Allow selected attendees to record to Only the host can record, the attendees allowed to record will become unable to record.
Before recording the meeting, you can click Record to check whether you have the recording permission, and if not, apply to the host for it promptly.
Recording file
If a meeting has multiple recording segments, multiple recording files will be generated in chronological order. After a recording is resumed, the recording content before pause will be merged with the content after resumption into one recording file.
If a recording is interrupted due to any exception, you can find the recording file in Past Meetings and convert it to watch the content before interruption.
