Use the Beta recording system to record your session. Some advantages of this system over the current recording system:

  • Recordings are available immediately.
  • A target directory can be specified for any recording.
  • Recordings can be named before you record, and can use special tags to indicate the user, host, date and time.
  • Recordings can be saved in one of several formats.

Note: there is a limitation in the current version that limits the number of players you can record to two. You cannot open the window (the Record button is disabled) when there are more than two players in a sesssion. In the next version, this will be the primary method of recording, and the number of players you can record is determined by your subscription level.
