How do I save a recording for future use?
You can upload your recordings to our Vimeo account, and then link in your Brightspace content for future use. NOTE: It is important to understand that just copying/pasting a recording link from a unique Teams group/session where the recording lives is NOT an option for future use because membership to the original session is required for access.
