Important Note: Seshboard's cloud recording feature currently only captures the audio and video feeds of the participants in the room, and does not capture other content such as PDF presentations, Miro boards, or users position on the screen during Move Around activities. This feature will be removed on May 1, 2023.
To make a full video recording of all the content in your session, we recommend using a popular Chrome/Edge extension called Screen Recorder (scre.io)
