 Click the record button at the bottom of your window. 

 

Next to the button the text Recording appears and the recording duration is shown.

 Optionally, talk to the people in the location with the  Talk to people in location  functionality.

 note 

 If you selected multiple locations for separate or composite session recording, pressing the stop recording button in one location, stops recording in all locations. 

 A question appears whether you want to stop the session. Click Yes . The following steps depend on whether you recorded a single session, selected multiple locations for separate sessions, or selected multiple locations for a composite session. 

 

 If you recorded a single session 

 

 If you did not specify a default session name, a  Save session  window appears. Enter a name and click  Save session . 

 If you specified a default session name, the session automatically gets this name followed by a consecutive number. 

 If you selected the option to edit the default session name before saving, each session automatically gets the same default name. Optionally, edit this name before you save it.

 If you started recording in multiple locations manually 

 You must stop recording in each location separately. After stopping a session, click the back button on the toolbar and open the next location to stop recording there.

 Notes 

 

 Session recording can only be stopped by the user that started the recording, or by a Technician. 

 You can also  View locations and start and stop recording  with a web browser. See  The Viso Web App , 

 Recording stops automatically if the computer that stores the video files runs out of disc space. This is shown in the session name. Contact your colleague who manages the Viso set-up if this happens. 

 If you log out while a session is recorded, recording continues, even if you shut down the computer with Viso. Log in again to stop the recording. 

 The Status column in the Locations tab shows in which locations recording takes place by which user. Locations that are locked or in which recording takes place can be opened and viewed by others if they have the rights to. However, session recording is disabled for those users. Locations that are offline are not selected for recording by your colleague who has the user role Technician. 

 

 TIP 

 Click one of the column headers to sort the locations by name or status, for example to list all locations in which recording takes place in the first lines of the table. 

 There can be multiple sessions with the same name. Sessions with the same name can be distinguished in the sessions list by the recording date and time. See  Review sessions
