# Manage Recordings

## To Manage Recordings:

1. From the MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing main page, under Monitoring, click Manage Recordings from the navigation pane. The page shows a listing of Recordings.

2. From here, you can perform the following operations:

   - Delete: Manually delete a selected file.

   - Mark them as permanent: In this case the recording will never be auto deleted. The only way to delete recordings marked as permanent is for the administrator to select a record and manually delete it from the admin portal. Once a record is marked as permanent, it cannot be changed back to a time limit expiration.

   - Backup: This option will provide the admin an option to save files to an external drive.

Note: You can sort the order of the table presented by clicking on the column header. All the columns are sortable. By default the columns are sorted by the recordings and date with the oldest recordings showing first.
Note: At the system level, the date stamp against a recording uses the GMT time zone.

The following conditions and limitations apply to recordings:

- The amount of disk space available on the server for MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing storage, including recordings, is listed on the System Options page in the Email Admin informing when the AWV disk space utilized reaches field. Recordings are included in the limit (for example: 15.28 GB).

- There is no set time limit on recordings. As long as space is available on the hard drive, a recording can continue.

- The amount of disk space used for a recording depends upon what is being recorded (Share, Video, Chat, Audio and so forth). However, as a rough guideline approximately 100 MB is required for a 10 minute recording that includes Sharing, Audio, with one or two users participating in the video.
