As well as using your video endpoint to call into the IP VCR in order to make and watch recordings, you may also
perform both of these functions using the IP VCR to call out to your endpoint. The sections below explain how to call out
from the IP VCR to make and watch recordings:
• Calling out to watch a recording
• Calling out to make a recording
• Understanding the playback and recording parameters pages

To call a video endpoint from the IP VCR in order to play a stored recording:
1. Go to Recordings.
2. Use the recording list to select the recording you wish to watch.
