Learn how to upload, replace, or remove an event recording from an Event or Event Series

Past Events are no longer perishable. Upload a native recording directly to an Event or Event Series, clearly surface it for learners, and track engagement, all without creating duplicate video artifacts or disrupting assignment logic.

You can now upload a recording video directly to an Event or Event Series (via the edit page), using the same upload experience as regular video content items.

Upload a recording to an Event Series

  1. Go to the Event Series and open the Event Series you want to update.

  2. Click Edit.

  3. In the new Recording section, use the Upload Recording button to upload your recording file

4. Wait for the upload to finish, then click Save.

Replace or remove an Event Series recording

  • Replace: Click Replace and upload a new file (this re-runs the upload flow).

  • Remove: Remove the video from the Recording section, then Save.

Upload a recording to an Event

  1. Go to Events and open the Event you want to update.

  2. Click Edit.

  3. In the Recording section, upload your recording file

  4. Click Save.

Replace or remove an Event recording

  • Replace: Click Replace, upload the new file, then Save.

  • Remove: Remove the video, then Save.

What to expect

  • After saving, the uploaded recording will continue to appear in the Recording section on the edit page.

  • For now, event recordings are only visible on the edit page and landing page of the event or event series it was uploaded.

  • You may see a Title field on the uploaded recording — currently this is a placeholder that will be implemented very soon.

Recordings don’t affect enrollments or assignments

Watching an Event (or Event Series) recording does not enroll anyone and does not count as completion for any related assignments.

  • Events: This usually isn’t an issue since recordings are typically uploaded after the event happens.

  • Event Series: It’s important to note that Recordings and Assignments/Enrollments are not connected — even if a recording is uploaded before the series starts (for example, as a teaser/trailer).

Tip: Use recordings as a resource to share, but if you need enrollment or completion tracking, you’ll still want to manage that through the event/series setup (not the recording).

Filtering events for recordings

Easily find events and with recorded videos. From the Events dashboard, go to filters and add Has Recording, and choose an option for Either, No, or Yes

Troubleshooting

If the recording upload option isn’t showing:

  • Confirm with support MUX video integration in enabled

  • Refresh the page and reopen the Event/Event Series edit screen.

If a larger video takes a while:

  • That’s expected—give the upload time to finish, then click Save to confirm the update.
