New recording experience: start, pause, and stop a recording

Who’s this article for? Hosts

Zencastr is rolling out a new recording experience. If this is the version you’re using, you’re in the right place. If your recording room looks different, see this article instead.

Use the recording controls to start, pause, resume, or stop a recording from the recording room. When you’re finished, keep the room open until all tracks have finished uploading.

Control your recording

Follow the instructions below to start, pause, or stop a recording.

  1. When everyone is ready to record, click Record.

  2. A 3-second countdown begins before recording starts.

  3. To pause the recording, click Pause.

  4. When you’re ready to continue, click Resume.

  5. When you’re finished recording, click Stop.

  6. Stay in the recording room until every track has finished uploading.

    1. Note: Closing the tab or leaving the room before uploads are complete can interrupt the upload process.

  7. Once all the tracks have finished uploading, you can click Session chat to return to the recording room chat and start editing your recording.
