How do I turn on on-demand post webinar?

I have Zoom events & webinar. We’d like to leverage the zoom platform to provide registrants on-demand access post webinar. 
I just don’t see it anywhere or how I can access it. 

Can someone please help?

      Hello, ​@Oi Hua Lee! Welcome to the Zoom Community. I just realized that you didn’t receive a reply to your post. If you’re still experiencing this issue, you can follow these steps:

      1. In the Zoom web portal, go to Webinars, then either schedule a new webinar or open an existing webinar to edit it.
      2. Under Registration, make sure ‘Required’ is checked.
      3. Then, under Options, select ‘Make the webinar on-demand’.
      4. Once you enable this option, Zoom will automatically select ‘Automatically record webinar’. This is required for on-demand access, so there’s no separate recording setup you need to configure.
      5. Save the webinar, and you’re all set. You’ll also see a video icon next to the webinar in your list, indicating that it’s configured as an on-demand webinar.

      When the webinar starts, the cloud recording will begin automatically, so the host doesn’t need to start the recording manually.

      Hi Oi Hua, yes — Zoom can provide on-demand access after the live webinar.

      If you’re using a standard Zoom Webinar, for future webinars you can go to the Zoom web portal → Webinars → edit the webinar → make sure Registration Required is enabled → under Options select Make the webinar on-demand. Zoom will automatically cloud-record the webinar, and registration can remain open after the live session so people can register to watch the recording. https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0067279

      If the webinar has already taken place and you have a cloud recording, go to Recordings & Transcripts → select the recording → Share → Share Settings → enable Viewers need to register to watch. That turns the recording into an on-demand registration experience. https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0067514

      If you’re using Zoom Events / Webinars Plus, look for the recording setting called Include access to the event’s cloud recording for registrants and attendees. You can also publish the recording to the event experience once it is available. https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0067619

      Hope that helps! If you let us know whether you’re using a standard Zoom Webinar or a Zoom Events event, I can point you to the most relevant setting.
