You asked for it and we heard you. Introducing Welo recording. Our recording feature is ideal for catching someone up on missed gatherings and discussions, or capturing important conversations. Using the recording feature is easy and recordings remain accessible for seven (7) days.

Space members and moderators are able to use the recording feature (guests do not have access). All members/moderators present at a gathering have access to recording functionality. Recording operates on a per room basis, enabling different members and moderators to record multiple separate gatherings taking place in Welo at the same time. 

Recordings include all video chat windows and any screens shared, but the Welo space is not included. If you would like to capture the Welo space in your recording, simply select ‘Share screen’ and then share that window or your entire screen.  

Follow these simple steps to record a gathering in Welo:
