Recording Watermarking

You can add a watermark to the transcoded files of your video session recordings to brand and protect these files from unauthorized use. To add a watermark, you must upload the file that you want to use as a watermark for your project to the EnableX portal.

Note: Only Transcoded Files can be watermarked.

Types of Recoding Files

The following types of recording files are generated:

• Individual Participants Stream Recordings: Each user's stream is individually recorded and available for download. These recording files are available in the MKV format.

• Transcoded Re-playable Session: A single composite video file is created from all the individual participant's streams in the right playtime. These files are available in the MP4 format. As transcoding is a subscription based service and enabled in a predefined layout, the transcoded files are made available for download on subscription-basis. If the session moderator has recorded different segment of a video session, multiple files in the MP4 format are created, one for each recorded segment.

Transcoded Replayable Session

A transcoded file is a single composite video file created from all the individual participant's streams in the right playtime and generated in the MP4 format. If the session moderator has recorded different segments of a video session, multiple files in the MP4 format are generated, one for each recorded segment. The transcoded files are available for download.
