FAQs

1. When are event recordings available in Content Lab?

Video recordings for pre-recorded events become available approximately 20 minutes after the event concludes. For live events, individual video streams are processed and made available on Content Lab within three hours.

2. Why am I not able to see recordings of previous events? 

Content Lab has recordings of all sessions created on or after January 1, 2023. However, for sessions recorded before August 1, 2023, the active speaker and speaker grid layouts are disabled. 

If you need recordings of sessions created between February 15, 2022, and January 1, 2023, you can contact support@goldcast.io and make a request. However, please remember that sessions recorded before February 15, 2022, are unavailable in Content Lab, as they do not have a VOD (Video on Demand) asset, and you won't be able to edit them.

3. Which recordings are available? 

Currently, only session recordings are available in Content Lab. Booth and room recordings are not supported at the moment, but our team is working on making these available in the future.
