Part 1. Can GoTo Meetings be recorded

Yes. GoTo Meeting provides a meeting recording function via its built-in recorder, similar to Zoom meeting recording.

Meeting recording with GoTo Meeting is very easy. Before the meeting starts, the holder of the meeting can record and choose what to record (audio, video, screen share, etc.). When the meeting starts, it will start recording based on the settings. And it can save the content in a standard video file format.

You can download the recorded files for later review when you stop recording. You can also store the recordings in the cloud or on your computer.

Part 2. How to Record GoTo Meetings via Built-in Recorder With Permission

A quick way to record GoTo Meeting on Windows/Mac is to use the built-in recording function of GoTo Meeting. Some users need to record but don't want to download any third-party recording software. They will choose GoTo Meeting's own screen recording function.

Note: In GoTo Meeting, usually, only the meeting organizer or host has recording permissions.

Let's take a look at the preparations and operation steps.

Preparations Before the Recording of the GoTo Meeting

To make all participants can concentrate on the meeting, we need to make some preparations.

1. Check the recording device's status and ensure it works properly. Ensure the camera, microphone, and recording device are all functioning properly.

2. Choose a suitable location according to the participants and seats. Make sure that you record the voices of all participants.

3. Prepare backup equipment (camera, microphone). This can help you deal with unexpected situations.

4. Ensure all participants know you will record the meeting.

How to Record GoTo Meeting

Note: If you are using local recording, ensure you have at least 5GB of free space in the desired local folder.

Pausing and resuming will not break up the recording into multiple files.

Where Does GoTo Meeting Save Recordings

Depending on the type of recording your account is set to, the session recording is available in your online account (online recording) or saved on your computer (local recording).

If your account is set to Save recordings online in the cloud, your recordings are available and searchable in your GoTo app of the person who started the recording.

1. Sign in to the GoTo web or desktop app.

2. Select Meetings, then Past and then enable the Recorded toggle to filter the recorded sessions.

Note: If you do not see a recorded session, use the filter next to the Recorded toggle to view recordings for the last 7 days, 30 days, or 12 months.

If your account is set to Save recordings on the computer, by default, local recordings are stored in your computer’s Documents folder as .webm files. The file’s name includes the date, time, and meeting name. You can change the folder recordings save to as desired.

The built-in meeting recording function has limitations. Only the host can record the screen. Besides, when you want to record the screen secretly, it is not possible because GoTo Meeting will notify the other attendees. So, we can use third-party software , e.g. ArkThinker Screen Recorder, to record meeting videos according to our needs. Let’s see how we can enable every participant to record GoTo Meetings.
