Managing the Recording Process
When a conference is started and recording is enabled in its Profile, the system will automatically start the
recording if the Start Recording parameter is set to immediately. If it is set to Upon Request, the system waits
for the chairperson or Collaboration Server user’s request. Once the recording is initiated for a conference,
the MCU connects to the recording device (RSS 2000/4000) using the default Recording Link. The
connection that is created between the conference and the recording device is represented as a special
participant (Recording) whose name is the Recording Link. Once the recording has started, the recording
process can be stopped and restarted from the Chairperson’s endpoint (using DTMF codes) or from the
Collaboration Server Web Client. After the recording process has finished, the recording can be identified
in the RSS 2000/4000 by its Collaboration Server conference name.
Recording Link Layout
When the video layout of the conference is set to Auto Layout, the recording of the conference will now
include all the conference participants and not n-1 participants as in previous versions.
In the new Auto Layout algorithm, the Recording Link is counted as a participant, and therefore it is excluded
from the layout display used for the recording. The layout used for the other participants will behave as in
the standard Auto Layout behavior.
The Recording Link Layout can be changed during an ongoing conference in the same manner as for any
other conference participant. For more information see the Participant Level Monitoring.
The default settings for Auto Layout for the conference and the Recording Link are summarized in the
following table:
Recording Link Default Layout Settings (Auto Layout Mode)
A conference participant and the Recording Link cannot have identical names, otherwise the
recording process will fail.
