# Using your Azure Blob for ScreenMeet File Storage

## Description

ScreenMeet session recordings and transferred files can be securely stored in your organization's Azure Blob Container. These files can be accessed via a URL directly from the ScreenMeet session data log in your CRM.

## Requirements

To connect ScreenMeet file storage to your Azure Blob Containers, you need the following:

- Azure Storage Account
- Storage Account Access Key
- Container

**Note:** Access keys are encrypted and securely stored in ScreenMeet. Only your organization’s administrators have access to this information.

### Step 6: Verify File Storage Configuration
