Room History is a section in your room’s Side Panel that keeps a structured record of each session held in a persistent room — who attended, how long the session ran, and a timestamped log of everything that happened, from recordings and screen shares to media presentations and participant changes. It’s available in both places you use a room: inside an active meeting and from the homepage Side Panel.
What counts as a session? A session is one continuous open-to-close cycle for a room. It starts when the first person joins, and ends when the room is closed or the last remaining person leaves — whichever happens first. If someone rejoins after a session has ended, that starts a new session with its own start time. There’s no limit to how many sessions a room can accumulate; they’re kept until a host or co-host deletes them.

Who can use it?

  • Hosts and co-hosts have full access and share the exact same permissions.
  • Participants do not see Room History — the section is hidden from their Side Panel entirely.
Room History requires a Silver or Gold license. It is not available on the Basic tier.

Viewing a Session

Room History has two areas: a session list at the top, and an events area below it that updates to show whichever session you’ve selected.

Session row

Each row in the session picker shows:
  • Date and duration of the session
  • Participant count
  • Files uploaded — a count, shown only if files were uploaded during the session
  • Recordings — a count, shown only if a recording was captured during the session
Ongoing sessions. If a session is still in progress, its row shows CURRENT SESSION in place of the timestamp and duration.

Events

A chronological, timestamped feed of everything that happened in the session, with each event attributed to the person who triggered it.
  • Timestamps are stored in UTC and always shown in your own local timezone.

Filtering the Event Log

The event log can be narrowed by event type and by a search field.

Exporting a Session

Session history can be exported as a CSV file. The Export control sits below the event log and currently exports the events matching your active filters — if you’ve filtered the log down to Recording events only, for example, the export contains only those events.

Deleting a Session

Hosts and co-hosts can delete an entire session record.
  • Deletion applies to the full session — individual events within a session can’t be deleted on their own.
  • Deletion is permanent and requires a confirmation step — there’s no undo.
  • Deleted sessions no longer appear in the session list.

Turning Logging On or Off

You can pause Room History logging from Settings → Room Controls, available in both the room and homepage contexts.
  • Logging is On by default.
  • When Off, no new session events are logged — but your existing session records stay viewable, filterable, and exportable.
  • Turn it On again to resume logging starting with the next session.

While logging is off, you’ll see the following notice:
