Session Recording

What’s new

What’s new in 2305

This release includes the following new features and addresses issues to improve the user experience:

Support for Azure SQL Database

You can now install the Session Recording database on Azure SQL Database.

For more information, see Install the Session Recording database on Azure SQL Database. For a complete list of the operating systems and database services that you can install the Session Recording database on, see System requirements.

In the Session Recording web player, you can now share recordings as unrestricted links so that anyone in your AD domain can access the recordings using the links.

To facilitate managing unrestricted links, Session Recording lets you:

  • Set a validity period for each of the links.
  • (Optional) Enter a justification when generating the links.
  • Get an overview of which recordings have been shared as unrestricted links.
  • View all unrestricted links of a specific recording.
  • Know which users have accessed an unrestricted link.
  • Revoke unrestricted links that haven’t expired.
  • Clear invalid links that have expired or revoked.

For more information, see Share recordings as links.

Configure Session Recording timespan for blocking sensitive information disclosure

Session Recording allows you to bypass specified periods when recording the screen to prevent sensitive information from being disclosed. The sensitive information blocking capability is enabled by using the Session-Pause and Session-Resume cmdlets. This release enhances the feature by allowing you to configure the amount of time of the screen recording you want to skip before sensitive information is detected. The default value is 1 second. For more information, see Sensitive information blocking.

Advanced filters available for ICLDB ARCHIVE and ICLDB REMOVE commands

When using the ICLDB ARCHIVE and ICLDB REMOVE commands to archive and remove session recording files, you can now set advanced filters by appending the RULES parameter. For more information, see Manage recordings.

Support for email alerts in your preferred language

You can now send email alerts even if the operating system language of your Session Recording server is not one of the following languages that Session Recording supports:

  • English
  • French
  • German
  • Spanish
  • Japanese
  • Simplified Chinese

If the operating system language of your Session Recording server is not one of the supported languages, email alerts are sent in English by default. You can customize a language to send email alerts in. To do so, find the email template called template.en.html under <Session Recording server installation path>\Bin\templates and then change the plain text in the template to your preferred language. For more information, see Configure event response policies.
