# How do I find / manage recordings?

> View and manage Personal Rooms recordings per room or across your entire account, and set per-recording visibility, format, and access.

You can view and manage Personal Rooms recordings two ways: per room ([Room recordings](#recordings-for-the-selected-room)) or across your account ([All recordings](#all-recordings)).

## Recordings for the selected room

When you log in, the currently selected room is your **Home Room**. The bottom panel lists all recordings for the selected room.

### Recording visibility

By default, recordings are **unlisted** — only the room owner can access them. To allow attendees with the room link to access a recording, change visibility from the dropdown.

* **Public** — appears on the Public Recordings page on the Room Join page. The link can be shared with anyone.
* **Protected** — must be viewed from within Personal Rooms.
* **Published** — accessible to anyone who has the link.
* **Unpublished** — not accessible to anyone.

<Note>
  Setting a recording to **Public** also makes the meeting statistics available.

  An **Unpublished** recording can still be viewed by anyone given the playback URL directly, even without access to the room link.
</Note>

### Recording formats

Up to four formats are produced for each processed recording. Selecting **presentation** or **video** opens the playback in a new tab. Selecting **statistics** or **notes** also opens in a new tab.

Anyone with access to the room can view the available recording formats. The **statistics** format provides an overview of attendance, participation, and engagement.

<Note>
  If you use Blindside Networks hosting, deleted recordings can be recovered up to 14 days after the **live** session.
