Introducing ConferenceXP Archive Service

Archive Service enables you to record a ConferenceXP session to a connected server and then play back the recorded session from within ConferenceXP Client. You can choose which RTP streams—including audio, video, and capabilities, such as ConferenceXP Presentation—you want to record. The Archive Service stores recorded sessions on a server running Microsoft® SQL Server™, which allows easy storage of numerous streams at once while increasing its versatility and requiring very little processing overhead.
