Class Materials
- If you are not sharing materials such as a presentation deck or document during the class, your instructor video will appear in a large view in the recording. If you do not want to appear in a large view in the recording, then you should continue to share your screen.
Learner Video
- Learners' video feeds in the Class Gallery under My View will never be recorded for privacy reasons. If you choose to include learners' video feeds in the recording, the videos appear only if the learners raise a hand and are at the podium. Click here to learn how class recordings can be configured to include or exclude your learners’ video feeds.
Learner Audio
- In Room Mode, which is the Engageli default, learners will be recorded regardless of whether they raise their hands or not. Room Mode captures all audio in the classroom.
- Discussions that happen at the tables when Table Mode is enabled are not recorded.
Tables and Group Activities
If you are doing group activities, and are visiting tables, the recording will not pause automatically. If you are conducting group activities within the tables, you should pause the recording until you regroup so that there is no blank air time.
Collaborative Features
- If you run a poll during your class, as an ice breaker or to check for understanding, learners watching the recording can also participate in the poll. After you lock the polls and share the results in the live session, the poll will be displayed in the recording.
- Any questions posted in the Q&A during the live class will be displayed in the Playback room. Learners watching the recording can answer the same questions that were posed in the live session. The questions will appear to any learner who attended, whether during the live session or viewing the recording in the Playback room.
- Messages sent in the Chat are not included in the recording and do not persist in the Playback room.
