Microsoft lync desktop recording

With Lync Recording Player, you can access the audio, video, instant messaging IM conversations, application sharing, Microsoft PowerPoint presentations, whiteboard, and polling portions of the Microsoft Lync recording just as they were experienced during the Microsoft Lync meeting or conversation. You can also hide any of these features so that you can focus on other parts of the Lync recording. With indexing, you can listen to a particular speaker or view specific content, and you can also access a list of attendees and download attachments.

Any changes you make apply to the current conversation or meeting. For subsequent conversations or meetings, these options revert to their default settings. Note: If you plan to share a Windows Media version of the recording, be aware that if certain content in the original Lync session was very large in size for example, a large whiteboard, a long IM session, or dual monitor sharing , the content may be less readable in the finished video.

Additionally, any ink messages in the IM portion of the recording are usually truncated because of limited width in the finished video.
