Who can comment
Anyone who is a member of the recording’s organization and can watch it. People watching a Public link see comments but cannot add them.
Comment on a public recording
When a recording is Public, anyone with its link can read its comments and replies, signed in or not. Your name and picture show beside what you write.
So you do not post something meant only for your team by mistake, the comment box shows You are commenting on a public video beside the formatting buttons while you type.
- Keep private details, such as customer names, passwords and internal links, out of comments on a Public recording.
- To keep the conversation inside your organization, ask the recording’s owner or an admin to change its visibility to Organization. Comments stay where they are and only members can read them.
