A: Log in to your Quick Record account and click on ‘Your Shows’ to see the list of shows, then select the show you would like to stop recording, you can either disable the show or delete the show. For example, if someone is covering your show for a week and you would like to skip the recording we would recommend that you disable the show.
Q: Can I start playing back a show while it is recording?
A: No, we record the whole show in one recording, this means you must wait for the show to stop before you can listen back. The playback is available instantly from our platform, third-party sites like MixCloud it can take up to a minute before it will be shown.
