That could let you listen to a teacher's oration again, use the audio for a podcast, or metrical reminisce the ballyhooing of a generations prodigiousness (which is something that admittedly happened to me on a contempo generations video call).

Many casework offer ways to almanac video meetings, metrical on their determining versions. We've outlined lifing how to set up recordings for three acclaimed services: Zoom, Google Meet, as well-conditioned as Skype.

Zoom

Zoom lets you almanac calls whether you're a determining user or a paid user. However, if you're a determining user, you'll only be bruising to save recordings to your computer. If you appetite to save recordings to the cloud, you'll need to be on among among one of the company's paid offerings. Those plans start at $14.99 per user per ages for its Pro plan as well-conditioned as $1,800 per year for schools.
