Recordings in Moodle

Recordings in Moodle

When a meeting is recorded, the recording is stored by SoftSysVideo and made accessible through the Moodle BigBlueButton activity — just like standard BigBlueButton.

Enabling recordings

Recordings must be enabled per activity by the teacher when creating or editing the BigBlueButton activity:

1. Edit the activity
2. Enable the Recording checkbox
3. Save

Students do not see a recording option — recording is controlled by the teacher at the activity level.

Note

Recording uses additional credits. See Billing Overview for details.

Viewing recordings

After a recorded meeting ends, the recording is processed and becomes available. Processing typically takes a few minutes.

To view recordings:

1. Go to the BigBlueButton activity in the Moodle course
2. Click the Recordings tab
3. Click Play next to any recording

Recordings open in the SoftSysVideo player directly in the browser.

Managing recordings (teacher)

Teachers can manage recordings from the Moodle activity:

Action	How
Play	Click Play next to the recording
Hide from students	Click Unpublish — the recording is still stored but not visible to students
Show to students	Click Publish — makes a hidden recording visible again
Delete	Click Delete — permanently removes the recording

AI-powered summaries

If your plan includes AI features, SoftSysVideo generates an AI summary and transcript for each recorded meeting. These are accessible from the Dashboard → Recordings section in app.softsysvideo.com.

Tip

AI summaries are not shown directly in Moodle. To share a summary with students, copy the text from the dashboard and paste it into a Moodle resource.

Recording retention

Recordings are stored indefinitely unless you delete them manually. Storage usage is reflected in your billing dashboard.
