Starting a Recording

About this task
You can record videoconferences and store them to a connected USB storage device. This section
describes how to start, pause, and stop a recording during a videoconference. This may require a
license, depending on your model. For more information, see Installation Guide for Scopia XT Series.
You can do this procedure from the endpoint itself or from the XT Series web interface.
You can play the recordings using any standard media player. The system saves the file as an MP4, and
records the video in H.264 format and audio in AAC-LC format.
You cannot record videoconferences when encryption is enabled. For more information, see
Administrator Guide for Scopia XT Series or contact your administrator. When recording a
videoconference on a system with an embedded MCU, you can include up to 6 remote endpoints. The
Scopia XT Series SMB Edition edition can include up to 5 remote endpoints.
You cannot (at present) record to a network disk, or to Scopia Desktop's Recording Server. This is
planned for future versions.
