What does "Recording is Processing" mean?
- With webinars and web events, there are millions of pieces of information that are streamed between you and your attendees. When you click record, our servers reassemble this information into a playable format.
All recordings and pre-loaded MP4's are post-processed with encrypted DASH and HLS before being available to your attendees, so the original video cannot be accessed/downloaded. This ensures that any edits made to your recording will be stored and encrypted safely.
This process usually takes 2-3 hours; we will notify you when it's complete so no need to wait around! If it takes longer, please email us at support@bigmarker.com
