The second way to record TeamViewer meetings is via its default recorder. TeamViewer offers a session recording feature that enables people to record remote-control sessions and meetings manually and automatically. Below are how-to guides.

How to Record TeamViewer Meetings Manually

Manually recording is more flexible, giving users opportunities to decide themselves if to record a TeamViewer session and when to start or stop the meeting recording.

Step 1. Open the TeamViewer and establish a remote connection with another device or start a TeamViewer meeting. Go to Files & Extras > Start session recording, and click it to start TeamViewer meeting recording.

Step 2. When you finish, click the arrow-down icon next to the red dot recording button and choose the Stop and Save option to end the TeamViewer meeting recording.

Recording with the TeamViewer built-in meeting recorder is convenient, but it also comes with two prominent disadvantages. Firstly, the recordings are unrecoverable once TeamViewer crashes during recording. In other words, all the efforts will be in vain. Secondly, the TeamViewer meeting recordings can be outputted only in .tvs format and played within the TeamViewer program. It greatly limits people from sharing with others. For these reasons, professional screen recorders are more recommended for TeamViewer meeting recording.
