Record a Session – ISL Player

Download

Please follow the steps below to begin using ISL Player : ISL Player Download

Run ISL Player

Run the ISL Player executable file and Click “Open a recording“

Note: You do not need a account to use ISL Player – this means that anyone can start it and view session recordings, e.g. a sysadmin who received a .isr file and wants to review actions that have been recorded in a session on a specific machine.

Open Recording

Step 1

Access the menu: File> Open and search for the recording file

ISL Player GUI

Desktop stream

Shared desktop from ISL Light Session is displayed here. Alternatively, if you are viewing a recording of an ISL Groop meeting, the active slide is shown.

Podium stream

Podium stream is present only in recordings of ISL Groop meetings. It shows the webcam feed (if present) or the thumbnail of the participant currently holding the podium.

Video stream

Video stream shows webcam feeds (if present) during the session.

Note: Depending on the recording setup, a video feed might be oriented incorrectly inside the Video Stream. Right-click on the video and a “Flip Video” option appears, allowing you to orient it correctly.

Chat stream

Chat stream shows the communication and notifications going on in the chat during the session.

Toolbar

Toolbar contains the timeline of the video, general video and audio controls, together with the following options:

• Display additional information about the recording (size, which ISL product created the recording, participants in a meeting…). This option also allows you to add and view markers for this recording.
• Add marker with a comment at the current point in the recording.
• Insert in and out point at the current point in the recording. When exporting the recording, only the part between in and out point will be exported, giving you a quick way to crop the recording. Note: Newly placed in or out point will overwrite the previously placed one.
• Change ISL Player into full screen mode. Exit the full screen mode by pressing the “Esc” button.
