Recording with Standard/Pro

With hotComm Standard/Pro, you can record a session. There are several options:

• Record in native hotComm Recording format (HCR). The recording includes your choice of many of the different elements that you see in a live session. Playback is through hotComm CL, hotComm Lite or hotComm Standard/Pro only.
  
  See Session Recording: hotComm format
  
  
• Record in Windows Media Video format (WMV) . Your recording can include the hotCam window by itself, plus audio. Or, you can record the full screen of your primary monitor. Playback is through Windows Media player or other programs that support WMV format.
  
  See Session Recording: WMV format
