Start or Stop a Recording on a Channel

LiveSwitch has the capability to capture and store individual, multiple or mixed streams in real-time for easy archiving and post-processing.

To record your channel, do the following:

1. Configure and enable recording from the Console of your Application and Channel configurations.
2. To start recordings on your channel, do one of the following:
   • If your channel is active, close it and then restart it.
   • If your channel is active but you don't want to restart it, start recording with the LiveSwitch SDK.
   • If your channel isn't active, activate it.

Note

Channel configurations only take effect on channel activation.
