How to start a webinar recording in session
In case you decide to leave automatic recording off, here’s how to do it manually:
Step 1. Start your session
While in session, start the broadcast and share your screen.
Step 2. Set up your recording
GoTo Webinar has recording abilities built in so there is no need to download an external screen recorder. Simply click Start Recording (Windows) or Record (Mac) to begin the recording of your screen. If you’re recording locally, you’ll need at least 5 GB of available hard drive space.
Step 3. Stop your recording
When you’re finished, select Stop Recording in the Screen Sharing pane. It is that easy!
Step 4. Edit and share the recording
When you end your webinar, you will be directed to your Video Library. Once the video is done saving, click on the video dropdown to download, edit, or share it.

Choose the recording you just created, select a date and click Schedule Now. You can even incorporate polls, add handouts and configure Q&A settings to make it feel as vibrant as a live event!.
