During times when remote or hybrid teaching is inevitable, many instructors record their class sessions for greater student accessibility. Recordings allow students to follow classes at their own pace, when it suits them, to watch class sessions they missed due to unexpected circumstances, review complex concepts, and fill in gaps in their lecture notes when studying for exams. At the same time, class recordings can result in waning attendance or student engagement. The objective of the empirical study presented in this paper is to determine which factors contribute to the acceptance of class recordings and how often they have been effectively consumed by information and computer science students of one higher education institution in Croatia. Reported findings uncovered that students are willing to learn course topics from class recordings because they have met students' expectations and can therefore serve as an equal replacement for in-class attendance.
