How to access the file

III. FAQs
What happens if the person who starts recording a meeting is no longer the host?
All recording permissions will be transferred to the new host. The recording file will still be stored to the Docs of the event organizer or the person who started the meeting.
If I record a call, will I receive the recording file?
When a one-on-one call is recorded, only the person who started recording will receive the file.
If someone joins a call that is being recorded, will they be notified?
Yes. Once a third person joins, the call becomes a meeting, and the new participant will be notified that the meeting is being recorded.
