In this episode, Matt discusses with Carson Vestergaard how to effectively turn Zoom recordings into training videos using Camtasia's new integration.

Doing anything with them seems too... messy, and a lot of people don’t realize that there’s an asset there in the first place. In this episode, Matt sits down with Carson Vestergaard, Instructional Designer at TechSmith, who breaks down why the easiest training video you'll ever ship is often one that already exists in your meeting recordings folder, and how Camtasia's new Zoom integration is making that possible.
