In this article, I will walk you through the exact steps I have taken based on my personal experience, to successfully record a GoToMeeting session on Windows 10.
Step 1: Install the GoToMeeting Recording Manager
Before you can start recording your GoToMeeting session, you’ll need to make sure you have the GoToMeeting Recording Manager installed on your computer.

Once you’re signed in, you’ll have the option to schedule a new meeting or join an existing one. Select the appropriate option and follow the prompts to start the meeting.
Step 3: Enable Recording
Once your GoToMeeting session has started, you’ll need to enable the recording feature. To do this, look for the Recording Manager icon in the system tray and right-click on it. From the context menu, select “Start Recording”. Alternatively, you can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+R to start and stop recording.

Simply click on the “Record” button in the GoToMeeting interface, or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+R. You’ll know that the session is being recorded when you see a red “Recording” indicator displayed on the screen.
Step 6: End the Meeting and Stop Recording
