Note:
This feature is being rolled out gradually. Don't worry if you can't see it in your messages yet - It will be available to everyone soon.
You may have times when you need to record a meeting for sharing with your team or following up on tasks later, for example. You can easily start recorded meetings right in Upwork Messages with Zoom.
Start a recorded Zoom meeting in Messages
You can create a recorded Zoom meeting by selecting the “Recorded Zoom Meeting” option on the Messages screen. Please note: you can’t disable the recording feature during an ongoing meeting, but you can create a regular (non-recorded) Zoom meeting on the Messages screen.
Members of the messaging room can then join the recorded meeting you created.
After the meeting, we will let you know when the Zoom recording is available.
