Are recordings created automatically?
Yes. Every live broadcast is recorded automatically in the background with no additional setup required. As soon as your stream ends, the recording is ready.
How quickly is a recording available after a broadcast?
Recordings are available for on-demand playback immediately after your broadcast ends. There is no processing delay.
What quality are recordings saved in?
Recordings are saved in the same quality as your live broadcast, up to full HD. You will never lose resolution between your live stream and the recorded version.
How long are recordings stored?
Recordings are stored indefinitely by default. There are no automatic expiry limits. You can also configure custom retention periods or download recordings at any time to manage your storage allocation.
Can I download my recordings?
Yes. Full-quality downloads are available at any time from your MediaCP dashboard. You own your content and can export it whenever you need.
Can I embed recordings on my website?
Yes. Every recording comes with an embeddable player and a shareable link. Simply copy the embed code and add it to any webpage or content management system.
Can viewers watch recordings on any device?
Yes. Recordings play back on all modern devices including mobile, tablet, and desktop. No special app or software is required.
Is there a limit on how many recordings I can store?
Storage limits depend on your MediaCP plan. You can upgrade your storage allocation or download older recordings to manage capacity as your library grows.
Can I make a recording private?
Yes. Recordings can be set to unpublished at any time, making them visible only to you. This lets you review, edit metadata, or hold a recording before making it available to your audience.
