Chapter 5 | Recording Meetings
About this task
You can record and playback meetings from a locally connected USB storage device, or record to the Scopia
Desktop Content Center server. This section describes how to start, pause, or stop a recording during a
videoconference.
You can playback recordings from the local USB storage device either on the XT Series or using any standard media
player. The system saves the file as an MP4, and records the video in H.264 format with audio in AAC-LC format.
You cannot record locally to USB when encryption is enabled (see Deployment Guide for Avaya Scopia
If you host the meeting on your built-in MCU, you can record either three remote endpoints if your license is MCU4,
or six remote endpoints if your license is MCU9.
Important:
Any recordings you make are not authorized by the manufacturer and are made at the sole responsibility and
liability of the user.
Recorded videoconferences use one monitor only. During recording, the auxiliary monitor displays the same video
layout as the primary monitor.
