Alternative Host- Recording Settings

Hi All-

 

I have someone assigned to be an alternative host for a webinar. If he has his settings set to 

Record active speaker, gallery view and shared screen separately" (with "Active speaker, Gallery view, and Shared screen"), although he wasn't the creator of the webinar- will it default to those settings or does the creator need to set those settings up?

Hello @lluca,

 

If the webinar/meeting was scheduled by you on your account, the Alternate cab start it and start a recording, but the meeting is still tied to your account so you will need those setting enabled for your cloud recording settings as well.

Thanks- so to confirm- the default settings are taken from the creator of the webinar? The alternative host would need to work with the creator for those settings to be in place ?
