- It doesn’t matter if HTML flag was enabled during recording of meeting or not.

- To play recordings in HTML client you need to have HTML flag enabled at Account level.

- No, the HTML flag can be enabled later on as well.
6) Will recordings made with 10.6 be playable on mobile app ?

- From Content library, users get an option to choose between 1) Open in browser or 2) Open in Application
- For making the HTML player default, you can toggle it with the ?html-view=true flag.

Hi,
I seem to be experiencing difficulties in viewing one of our recorded session. I copy the URL and forward that via email to colleagues to watch. If they open it using Google Chrome, they can view the video however, no audio.
If they open using Internet Explorer, they have audio (which is choppy) but no video. This session was recorded on Oct 7th and was working fine up until late last week when we began to receive emails stating the URL issues previously mentioned. How can I remedy this?
Hello Patty,
May you please confirm if we can contact you at your email address to discuss this further or could you please advise your preferred contact information.
Thanks Sushma
