Hello!  
It takes a very long time to convert a meeting recording. How can I disable conversion? To manually start the conversion later.

Hey @SmartSoftware,

Thanks for using the dev forum!

I do not believe the conversion can be disabled. Is the problem that the conversion itself takes too long or that the “meeting recording is converting” message is displayed too long?

Thanks!  
Michael
