Hi,

I'm using cloud recording of the 4 hour session for the first time. I know it may take twice longer as the session, however I'd like to know whether my laptop must be on all the time during the recording process or I can put it in a sleep mode.

Thank you in advance!

Hi @anitaps! You don't have to keep your laptop on while your recording is processing 🙂
