| − | | |
| − | April 2013: Even though you can record a session, the recordings start as soon as someone enters a meeting, which creates a significant pause or wait time before the meeting actually starts. You can record displaying presentations, but you can't record using a whiteboard or webcam at this time. You're suppose to be able to record sharing your desktop, but it is not consistently recording. Finally, you can't be edit or download recordings. You can either make a recording available or unavailable in your classroom in the Meetings tool.
