Publishing your recording

You can make your recording available to a worldwide audience by posting the downloaded file to a web server. The web master at your company should be able to help you with this task. Once the file is posted to the server, the web master can provide you with the URL to your recording. If you do not have a web master who can help you, check with your Internet Service Provider to find out whether they provide a way to post files to the internet. Most ISPs provide personal web space a part of their service. If you get stuck, MeetingBridge provides recording, editing and hosting services. Contact MeetingBridge Event Support at (888) 723-1200 Option 4 for more information.

Once the file is posted to a web server and you have the recording URL, you can configure your event's On Demand Settings to allow registrants who were not able to attend the live session to use the links in their confirmation and reminder emails to view the recording. See the On Demand Settings topic for details.
