Session Recording

Customize recording notification messages

If the active recording policy records sessions with notifications, users receive recording notifications after typing credentials.

  • When Allow end user to deny recording of their session is enabled on the Notifications tab of the Session Recording Server Properties, the default notification message reads as follows:

    Session recording disclaimer

    Allow end user to deny recording of their session. This feature forces end users to explicitly consent to the session recording disclaimer before they can continue with their session. If end users accept the disclaimer, their session continues with session recording enabled. If end users deny the disclaimer, their session is terminated.

  • When Allow end user to deny recording of their session is not enabled, the default notification message is Your activity with the desktop or program(s) you recently started is being recorded. If you object to this condition, close the desktop or program(s). Users can click OK to dismiss the window and continue their sessions.

The default notification message appears in the language of the operating system on the Session Recording server. You can change the default message title and message body as needed.

You can also create notification messages in specific languages that you choose. While doing so, you can customize the message title and message body too. You can have only one notification message for each language. Your users see notification messages in the languages of their preferred local settings. The language-specific notification messages take precedence over the default notification message.
