Knowledge Base

By default, a recording in NoldusViso has no maximum length. It runs until someone stops it, its scheduled time ends, or the session is closed. Leaving the session does not stop it, because nobody watching in NoldusViso does not mean nobody is in front of the camera.

An Administrator can set a maximum recording duration for the whole installation. Every recording, scheduled or not, then stops automatically once it reaches that length.

Prerequisites

• An Administrator role is required — see User Accounts and Roles.

1. Setting the maximum recording duration

The setting is in the Recordings block of the global settings menu. From the home screen, click your user initial in the bottom-left corner and choose Global settings.

1. Enter the Maximum recording duration in hours. Fractions are allowed: 1.5 is an hour and a half.
2. Click Save.

Enter 0 for no limit. Reset to defaults returns to the installation's default, which is no limit unless the technician who installed NoldusViso set one.

To keep one recording short without limiting everyone else, schedule it instead: a scheduled recording stops when its scheduled time ends.

2. What happens to recordings that are already running

The new limit also applies to recordings that are already running, within a few minutes of saving.

When you lower the limit, NoldusViso asks you to confirm first. Recordings that have already run longer than the new limit then stop within a few minutes. What they recorded up to that moment is saved and appears in the library as usual.

Raising the limit, or setting it to 0, lets running recordings continue.
