The Basic, Pro, and Elite teacher memberships all include the ability to record lessons and download lesson recordings.
Can I record a lesson?
Yes! Forte has a built-in recording feature, allowing the teacher or student to start and stop recording at any point during the lesson. Teachers with Basic, Pro, or Elite memberships and their student(s) are able to record lessons and download them for viewing after the lesson.
At the end of the lesson, Forte automatically processes the recording(s) and sends an email to both the student and teacher containing a link to download the recording.
Recordings are processed so the video of the student and teacher are equal in size.
How do I watch a recorded lesson?
Lesson recordings must be downloaded to be watched.
Teachers:
From the Students section of your Teaching Hub, click on the three vertical dots to the left of a student's name, and then click on "Lesson recordings" to access the full list of accessible recordings for lessons with that student.
Students:
From your Learning Hub, click on the round avatar at the top right, and then click "Lesson Recordings."

What constitutes a lesson download?
When either a teacher or a student downloads a lesson recording, a Download Token is deducted.
The recording will remain unlocked and available for both the teacher and the student.
That downloaded lesson may be downloaded and viewed as many times as needed after initial download, without additionally counting toward the allowed download limit.
Download Tokens are refilled when your Forte membership renews each month.
How long are lesson recordings available on the Forte server for download?
Lesson recordings are available for 60 days after the lesson takes places. After 60 days, lesson recordings are deleted and are not able to be recovered.
