There are 2 very distinct access permission options that recordings can be set to - "Private" or "Public." The access permission will need to be be set before distributing the URL to your intended audience.

1. The first and the most restrictive option is to use “Private” access. In this case each participant will need to be added to the meeting participant list . The meeting host or meeting creator can edit the participants list by going to the Meeting Information Screen> Edit Participants>Current Participant Screen. See http://meeting.psu.edu/editparticipants to learn more about how to add or remove participants to a meeting room.
2. The second less restrictive and most frequently used option is the "Public" option. the Public option is used more for general meetings, webinars, and class meetings.

In either option, the participants will need to have the recording URL so they can access the recording. One method frequently used here at Penn State and still maintain some restriction when the recording permission set to “Public” is to make a URL link to recording available in ANGEL.

Please note: that by default, all recording access permissions are set to "Private" and may need to be changed to "Public" if all of your students or attendees are not listed as participants in the Meeting Information screen.

Now this could raise a second part to the question: How can I change the access or permissions from “Private” to “Public” for the recording?
Only a Meeting Creator or Host can change the access permission for a recording or meeting room.

To change the access to selected recordings associated with a meeting room without changing the meeting room access,
1. Enter the Meeting room for the desired recording.
2. Under the "Meeting" menu select "Manage Meeting Information." This will open the Web interface in your browser.
3. Click the "Recordings" link at the end of the Meeting Information menu bar to view the list of recordings for the meeting room.
4. Select the desired recording by clicking the checkbox to the left of the recording name.
5. Select either the “Make Public” button or the “Make Private” button located just above the column headings.
6. If you select to make the recording private, continue editing the meeting room information by selecting “Edit Participants” from the “Meeting Information” menu bar and add the names of users to whom you wish to grant access.
