Frequently Asked Questions 

What is the retention period for a screen capture?

Screen captures will be retained by default for one year and then deleted.

Will I still see audio recordings too?

Yes, while the screen capture does contain audio you will still get separate audio files.

Will multiple screens be recorded?

Yes, if your Agent is using more than one screen they will each be recorded and visible during playback.

Why does the image appear broken?

If you see a broken-up image when reviewing a screen recording, this indicates a period of poor connectivity.

Will Agents be aware their screen is being recorded?
