Watching a recording inline
The Watch button on any recording opens a player dialog with full controls — no new-tab navigation.
Last updated May 20, 2026
Wherever a class recording is surfaced — the class detail page, the Recordings index, the post-class wrap screen, past-meetings tile — the Watch button opens a dialog with the video playing inline.
Supported formats
- Native MP4 / WebM (your R2-hosted LiveKit recordings) — full HTML5 video controls + picture-in-picture.
- YouTube — converted to an embed automatically (privacy-enhanced nocookie domain).
- Vimeo — same.
- Loom, Wistia, and other recognised providers — iframe embed.
- Anything else — falls back to an "Open in new tab" link so nothing 404s.
Behaviour
Autoplay is on so the recording starts the moment the dialog opens. Preload is metadata-only so the dialog opens instantly even on a slow connection. Click "Open in new tab" in the dialog header for a fullscreen viewing experience.
