About

Set the recording's visibility

In Content Hubs, you can choose who can view the resulting recording:

• Private: Only the content owner can view the recording. This is the default.
• Published: People with access to the selected categories or channels can view the recording. Select where to publish it.
• Unlisted: Anyone with a link to the recording page can view it.

These visibility options don't appear when scheduling from LMS Extensions. Your administrator can also configure additional root categories for publishing.

Add collaborators

Event organizers can add co-editors and co-publishers to the resulting recording. This feature requires the MediaCollaboration module to be enabled.

• Co-editors can edit the recording's details and metadata and view its analytics. They can't delete the recording or add collaborators.

If your administrator has enabled group support for media collaboration, you can also assign groups as co-editors or co-publishers.
