Step 3: Select the Date Range

You can also select the dates you want to search over by adjusting the date range. By default, the search function will only return results from the last 7 days. However, you can adjust the date range to search over a longer or shorter period of time.

 

Step 4: Review the Search Results

Our search function will return a list of results that match your search terms. The search function uses an or function for all search terms, which means that it will return any results that include at least one of the search terms.

Step 5: Expand Your Results

If you have too few search results, you can use additional keywords to expand your search. For example, if you searched for cloud center and received too few results, you could add the keyword cloud management to your search to further expand your results. Have the opposite problem?

Step 6: View the Moment in Context

Once you have found the moment you were looking for, you can click on the link to view the full meeting video. This will allow you to see the moment in context and understand the discussion that led up to it.
