You can plan, host, and record online meetings and webinars with GoToMeeting. The free version has all of the features, but it only allows you to connect with three more individuals and has a 40-minute time limit. Hosts or attendees may often need to record a GoToMeeting session for a variety of reasons. Here, we are going to talk about how to record GoToMeeting as an attendee or host.

2. How to Use a Built-In Tool to Record GoToMeeting Sessions

You may broadcast your recorded sessions to a larger audience or keep a copy of them for future reference. Participants may watch the meeting at any time if you provide recorded sessions to your invitees. Set up your GoToMeeting client to record in either Windows Media or GoToMeeting format. Meeting organizers are the only ones who can record the meetings they host. In addition, each Web conference should include at least two coordinators in case there are technical problems. Here’s how to record GoToMeeting using a new GoTo application.

Record a meeting: 

• Start a meeting and select your audio and camera devices. If you cannot see the preview, change the camera device by clicking the ‘Swap Camera’ button.

• Click the Record icon in the lower toolbar.
  • The Recording icon will glow, and attendees will see a notification that the session is being recorded.
  • To pause or stop your recording, click the Record icon again. Alternatively, you can end the session.

• Once the session is over, you’ll be taken to your web account where you can access the recording. Note that it will take a couple of minutes for the latest recording to appear.

Although the GoToMeeting recorder is very convenient, there are some limitations in this built-in tool:

• The GoTo only supports cloud recording at this time.
• The recorded video output format is limited
• If you’re on a GoToMeeting Free account, your meeting is limited to 40 minutes.

For these reasons mentioned above, most users may choose another practical tool, such as Bandicam, to record GoToMeeting.
