How do I use the recording feature in an Elluminate Live session?

 

As a moderator, you can start or stop recording your session plus you can erase the recording at any time during the session. In the recording, all activity in the main room during the session will be recorded. This means that all audio, public text messages, whiteboard content, application sharing, quizzes, multimedia, file sharing, and video broadcasting will be captured in the recording and played back as it occurred.



To begin recording your session or to resume the recording, select the record button from the lower left-hand corner of the Status bar. Alternatively, from the Tools menu, select Recorder and select Record.

When the recorder starts, the reel 2 reel icon will appear at the bottom of the Elluminate Live! session indicating to everyone that the session is being recorded.

NOTE: Some rooms may have been set to record automatically. In this case you cannot stop, erase, or restart the recording. See your System Administrator if you wish to have access to controlling the recording of your room.

Stop and Pause the Recording

At any time during your session, you may stop or pause the recording. To do this, select the pause button from the lower left-hand corner. Alternatively, from the Tools menu, select Recorder and de-select the Record option. You can start and stop the recording as many times as you like during your session.

Erase the Recording

You can also erase the content that has been recorded in the room and then resume recording at any time. To erase the recording, from the Tools menu, select Recorder and then select Erase Recording...

NOTE: A recording will not be processed until everyone has left the session (Including the moderators) for at least 15-20 minutes.
