prerecorded
Not live broadcast
Prerecorded describes audio or video captured in advance rather than broadcast live: a prerecorded message, The show isn't live—it's prerecorded.
The term distinguishes prepared content from spontaneous or real-time transmission.
A prerecorded phone greeting plays automatically; a prerecorded interview airs hours or days after filming.
