About This Feature

Overview

Record in WPS on Windows is a built-in meeting recording workflow for WPS meetings. It lets you record a meeting while it is in progress and review meeting history and playback after the meeting ends.

Core capabilities include:

Start or stop recording: begin recording during a meeting and stop the current recording segment when needed.
View recorded files: open meeting history to review meetings you started or joined and play back the recording.

This workflow is useful for project syncs, training sessions, and follow-up review across teams. Because recording can be started again after stopping, it also supports segmented meeting capture.

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports starting a meeting recording, stopping recording, and viewing playback from meeting history.	Teams supports starting, stopping, and finding meeting recordings, with recordings stored in OneDrive or SharePoint.

Overall Conclusion
