The custom name applies to individual High Quality Tracks, shared media tracks, internet backups, clips composed in the Editor, and transcription files.

Available naming elements include:

  • Date & time (in UTC)
  • Sequence number (a unique number assigned to each track in a Studio)
    • Available only for recordings created after June 2023
  • Custom free text (up to 25 letters or numbers)
  • Production name
  • Studio name
  • Recording name
  • Guest names (adds the names of all participants)
  • Participant name (for an individual track or the name of a clip)
  • Export type (such as CFR MP4, WAV, compressed MP3, MP4, backup video, etc.)
  • Media type (such as participant, editor-clip, composed, screenshare, media-board, slide-presentation)
  • Recording ID
  • Riverside (a static label)

If you do not create a custom filename, the default naming in a Business account is Recording name + Date and time + Sequence number. By default, each recording is given a name that contains the names of all the participants.
