Specify players for a site

Overview

You can now specify either the cloud player, on-premises players, or both to play the recordings of a site. By default, both the cloud player and on-premises players are selected.

Note:

This feature is available for Session Recording server 2308 and later only.

The on-premises players include the Session Recording player (Windows) and the Session Recording web player.

  4. Select at least one option as needed and then click Apply changes.

What if a player is disabled (not selected)

  • If the cloud player is disabled for recording playback of a site, the play button for recordings from the site is unavailable with a tooltip on hover.

    What if the cloud player is disabled

  • If the on-premises players are disabled for recording playback of a site, you are prompted when selecting recordings from the site. The prompt message reads “Recording playback has been disabled for this server in the current player.” For an example of the prompt message in the on-premises Session Recording web player:

    On-premises web player is disabled

    Meanwhile, if any recording of the site was shared as a link earlier, the Playback unavailable message appears when the viewer opens the link to access the recording.
