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
Go to the Event Series and open the Event Series you want to update.
Click Edit.
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
Go to Events and open the Event you want to update.
Click Edit.
In the Recording section, upload your recording file
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.
Learners can watch the recording on the landing page of the event or event series it was uploaded to.
Recordings can also be found from the Events page and from the dashboards. See Find recordings on the Events page below.
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).
Find recordings on the Events page
There are two ways to find events that have a recording attached.
The Recent Recordings widget
If this widget is enabled for your site, Recent Recordings appears near the top of the Events page. It lists past events that have a recording attached, most recent first.
Select View all to see the full list. The Events page opens with the Past and Has recording filters already applied, most recent first.
If nothing has been recorded yet, the widget stays on the page and shows No recordings yet.
The widget only appears when you have not searched or applied any filters. As soon as you filter the Events page, the widget is hidden along with the other suggestions.
Not every site has this widget. If you don't see it, contact PlusPlus support to have it added for your site.
The Has recording filter
The Has recording filter is available on the Events page for every site.
Go to the Events page.
Open More Filters and select Has recording.
In the same panel, open Dates and choose Past.
The Dates step matters. The Events page shows upcoming events by default, so Has recording on its own will usually return no results — most recordings belong to events that have already happened.
Filtering events and Event Series for recordings on the dashboards
Use the Has Recording filter to find items that have a recorded video attached.
The filter is available on both the Events dashboard and the Event Series dashboard.
Go to the Events dashboard or the Event Series dashboard.
Click Add Filter and select Has Recording.
Choose Yes, No, or Either.
The example above shows the Events dashboard. The filter works the same way on the Event Series dashboard.
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.
