Understand why meetings and calls are not recorded

A
Written by Adelina Petrova

Managers often need to understand why some team meetings were not recorded, so they can spot patterns, review any issues, and decide whether any follow-up is needed.

With the "Recording Outcomes" in your CSV export, you can:

  • quickly see which meetings were recorded and which were not

  • understand the reason a meeting was not recorded

  • spot repeated issues across your team

  • decide whether any action or support follow-up is needed


Where to find Recording Outcomes

  1. Go to Team Insights → Conversations → Conferences.

  2. Click "Download CSV"

In the CSV file:

  • Find the "Outcome Text" column (after "Connected")

  • This will show:

    • Recorded → the meeting was recorded successfully

    • Or the reason it was not recorded

Note: Only recording reasons from the current calendar year are included in the report.

FAQ

Why do I see different reasons instead of just “not recorded”?

Each reason shows what actually happened during the meeting, so you don’t need to investigate each call manually.

Does this fix recording issues automatically?

No — this gives you visibility into what happened. You can then decide if any action is needed.

What should I look for in the CSV?

Look for repeated reasons in the Outcome Text column. Patterns usually indicate a team behaviour, setup, or permissions issue.

When should I contact Jiminny support?

Contact support if:

- You see repeated “Server error”

- You see many “Other” outcomes

- The reason does not match what you expect

- The issue continues over time
