Managing the hub Recordings tab

Last Updated:

A Zoom Events hub's recordings give event organizers the option to allow users to watch event recordings. Event recordings will appear in the Recordings tab automatically once the event has started. Event organizers can view, publish, manage, and report recordings within your hub's library.

This also allows users to access recordings without an initial registration for the event, gives users who missed an event an option to view event recordings, and helps event organizers with knowledge sharing and content marketing. As a Zoom Events license holder, you can manage your hub recordings.
