Managing the Across Hubs Recordings page
You can access the Across Hubs Recordings page to manage and view recordings across hubs edited by you and other hub members. You can choose to include complimentary access to your Zoom Events' cloud recording with Zoom Events ticket registration which will give registrants the opportunity to watch the event they registered for, even if they didn't attend the event. This is an added benefit you can include with a ticket registration.
Enabling complimentary access to event recordings with ticket registration will:
- Start the recording of the event automatically once the event starts. This ensures that the event is recorded, even if you or an alternative host forgets to start the recording.
Note: For events that don't include complimentary access to event recordings with ticket registration, you will have to manually start the recording of an event. - Give all registrants—those who missed the event and those who attended the event—complimentary access to both multiple sessions and single-session events to view the recording.
- The event recordings are available for as long as the event lobby is open.
Note: Recordings in the lobby are synchronized to expire with the lobby's closing time, even when the lobby's close time is changed from the default closing time. - Once a Zoom Events attendee has registered for the event, they will be able to view the recording from their Tickets and Event Details pages.
Note: Recordings can be downloaded, edited, deleted, or shared from the Zoom web portal.
The recording will be posted automatically upon completion of the event, eliminating the need for you to manually upload the recording. If multiple files originate from the same recorded session, the longest file will automatically be selected as the recording for that session.

Recording options
Registrants will be able to view the recording for the event they registered for only if you included complimentary viewing access with their ticket registration when you created the event.
How to manage recordings
If a host starts recording, then continues to start/stop multiple recordings, the longest recording file will be linked to the session. If a session has multiple recording files, the longest file will be provided to attendees as the recorded session.
