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

Available naming elements include:

  • Date & time: When the recording took place
  • Sequence number: A unique number assigned to the track
    • Available only for recordings created after June 2023
  • Custom free text: Specific text you want to include
  • Production name: The name of the production
  • Studio name: The name of the studio
  • Recording name: The name of the recording
  • Guest names: All files, whether it's the individual track files or the All participant track file, include all the names of anyone in the recording
  • Participant name: The individual track files (ie the tracks created for each person recording) only include the name of the person who's track it is
  • Export type: The format of the file you're exporting (CFR MP4, WAV, MP3, MP4)

If you do not create a custom filename, the default naming for downloaded files 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.
