Any Qwil meeting or call can be recorded for future viewing or for compliance purposes. The recording captures audio, video, and screen sharing activity and can last up to 1 hour.

What to expect:

  • Any meeting participant can start a recording. 
  • Everyone in the meeting will get notified that the recording has started.
  • Recordings are saved locally on your computer. Each recording is limited to 1GB which is around 1 hour. 
  • You can only record a meeting on a desktop computer and it is only available in Chrome and chrome-based browsers.
  • The recording file format saved to disk can be different depending on your browser and operating system. Where possible, it saves as *.mp4 file but if mp4 not supported (e.g. in Chrome on Macs) then it saves as *.webm file.
  • If you started a recording you will not be able to leave a meeting until you stop the recording, this is to ensure the file is saved to your computer.
