alias
Choose a Recording alias to be
used for this call.
You may have a Personal Rec ording alias or
have been advised which System Recordin g
alias to use.
If the conference is t o b e watched live (i.e. whil e
it is recording), select a Recording ali as that
allows this. Conferen ces recorded with "n on-live
streaming" Record ing aliases can only be
watched after their ou tputs have been
processed: how long this takes depends on t he
length of the conferen ce and how many other
conference output s the Content Server is
processing when th e call completes. You ca n
see whether output s for your conference are in
the queue to be processe d by going to View
Conferences > Pending.
Note that No live resources available is
displayed if the Cont ent Server is already
streaming the maxim um number of live
conferences, and you will only be able to select
Recording aliases without live output s.
