# Recording Capabilities

Scoot offers two distinct recording systems designed for different use cases: **Presentation & Screen Share Recording** for capturing live visual content, and **Deep Journey** for AI-powered conversation intelligence from Mingle Mode interactions. This article explains how each works, what they capture, and when to use them.

***

## Presentation & Screen Share Recording

Scoot's built-in recording feature lets hosts capture live presentations and group screen shares in real time. This produces a traditional video recording of the session, including both visual content and audio.

### Who Can Record

Only **hosts** can initiate and stop a recording. Attendees and participants do not have access to the recording controls.

### What Gets Recorded

* The **screen share** from the host or other presenters
* The **audience audio stream**, which depends on which audience audio setting is active during the presentation

> **Note:** The recording captures the shared screen and the audio stream as a single output. It does not separately record individual participant audio tracks or video feeds.

### How to Record

1. **Start a presentation or group screen share** in a Room.
2. Click the **"Record presentation"** button in the presentation controls toolbar.
3. The system begins capturing immediately.
4. When finished, click **"Stop Recording"**.

### Accessing Your Recordings

Once processing is complete, recordings are available at [https://us.scoot.app/recordings](https://us.scoot.app/recordings). From there you can:

* **Download** any of your recordings
* **Delete** recordings you no longer need

### Best For

* Capturing keynotes, all-hands presentations, and panel discussions
* Creating on-demand content from live sessions
* Sharing presentation replays with attendees who couldn't join live

## Deep Journey: AI-Powered Conversation Intelligence

Deep Journey is Scoot's AI-powered conversation intelligence system. Unlike Presentation Recording, which captures video, Deep Journey automatically **records, transcribes, and analyzes every conversation that happens in Mingle Mode** across your Scoot sessions. It transforms unstructured networking and small-group conversations into searchable, structured insights.

### How It Works

When attendees enter **Mingle Mode** in a Scoot session, the platform captures four types of data:

| Data Type               | What It Captures                                                                     |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Conversational data** | Full audio transcriptions of every Mingle Mode conversation, including who said what |
| **Behavioral data**     | How participants moved through the space, who they talked to, and for how long       |
| **Engagement data**     | Participation levels, interaction patterns, and session activity                     |
| **Technographic data**  | Device and platform information about attendees                                      |

### What You Get: Meeting Summaries

Deep Journey produces two types of AI-generated meeting summaries after every session:

### Host Meeting Summary

Available to the event host, this includes:

* **General Meeting Summary** -- an AI-generated overview of what was discussed across the entire session
* **Meeting Keywords** -- auto-detected topics (e.g., Goal Setting, Activity Planning, Revenue Goals)
* **Meeting Attendance** -- total attendee count with an attendance timeline
* **Companies Represented** -- a breakdown of organizations and attendee counts
* **Participation Metrics** -- desktop vs. mobile usage split
* **Assets** -- downloadable files shared during the event (PDFs, spreadsheets, etc.)
* **Scoot Meeting Timeline** -- a chronological log of every conversation in every room, searchable by Company, Attendee Name, or Job Title
* **Conversation Transcripts** -- expandable details for each conversation showing participants, duration, topics discussed, and per-person summaries of what each individual contributed

### Personal Meeting Summary

Available to each individual attendee, this includes:

* **People to Connect With** -- a list of key participants you interacted with, including name, job title, and company
* **Meeting Keywords** -- topics from your specific conversations
* **Asset Downloads** -- files shared during the event (presentations, documents, spreadsheets)
* **Your Meeting Timeline** -- a personal chronological journey showing every conversation and icebreaker you participated in, with timestamps, other participants, and topic tags

### Deep Journey AI Chat

Beyond summaries, Deep Journey includes an **AI-powered chat interface** that lets hosts query their conversation data conversationally. You can:

* Ask questions like *"How are customers perceiving our product over the past six months?"*
* Get AI-synthesized answers drawn from transcripts across **multiple sessions**
* Filter by **date range** and **Scootaverse**
* Click through to **source transcripts** to verify any insight -- every AI response shows which sessions informed the answer

#### Example Deep Journey Prompts

* **Product Feedback** -- "How are customers reacting to our product over the past 6 months?"
* **Competitor Intelligence** -- "How does our product compare to our competitors in the eyes of our customers?"
* **Customer Insights** -- "What are customers saying about our new feature?"

### Best For

* Capturing insights from networking conversations that would otherwise be lost
* Understanding customer sentiment across multiple events over time
* Extracting product feedback, competitive intelligence, and customer needs at scale
* Giving attendees a personalized recap of their connections and conversations

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Do I need to manually start recording for Mingle Mode conversations?**

No. Deep Journey automatically captures and transcribes Mingle Mode conversations. Manual recording is only required for Presentation and Group Screen Share sessions.

**Can attendees see what other people discussed in conversations they weren't part of?**

No. Attendees receive a **Personal Meeting Summary** that only shows the conversations they participated in. Only hosts have access to the full Host Meeting Summary with all conversations across the event.

**Can I use Deep Journey to analyze conversations across multiple events?**

Yes. The Deep Journey AI chat lets you query across multiple sessions and filter by date range, making it ideal for tracking trends like customer sentiment or product feedback over time.

**Where do I find my Presentation Recordings vs. my Meeting Summaries?**

Presentation Recordings are available under the **Recordings** section. Meeting Summaries and Deep Journey insights are available under the **Events**, **Sessions**, and **Deep Journey** sections of the Scoot dashboard.

**What if I want both a video recording and conversation transcripts from the same event?**

You can use both features in the same session. Record your Presentation for a video capture, and Deep Journey will automatically handle the Mingle Mode portions. The two systems are complementary.
