Audio/Video Integration and Timestamping

This article will walk you through how to link a meeting live stream or recording to its instance in Municode Meetings, now our Essential Agenda and Meeting Management solution. It will also show you how to timestamp an audio or video recording so that website visitors can jump directly to the discussion for a particular item.

Important Note

• Some web-hosting sites create two different URLs for live streams and live-stream recordings. If your web host generates different URLs for streams and recordings of the same video, make sure that you use the one that is appropriate for your situation. If your web host uses different URLs for streams and recordings, you may need to copy and paste the stream URL into the system before the meeting and replace it with the recording URL once the stream is complete.
