About recording and replaying sessions Symantec pcAnywhere lets you record sessions for later playback. For example, as a host user demonstrates a complex procedure, you can record the host screen instead of taking notes. Later, you can replay the recording to review the exact steps. Either the host or remote user can record a session. However, to record a session, the host user must set up the host to start recording automatically as soon as the connection is made. This setting applies globally to all host sessions. See "Automatically recording a host session" on page 229. Recording a remote session You can record a session for later playback at any point during the remote session. You can save the session in a new record file or add the recording to the end of an existing record file. To record a remote session 1 In the Session Manager window, on the left navigation bar, under Remote Control click Start/Stop Session Recording. 2 Do one of the following: ■ To add the recording to the end of an existing record file, select the file (*.rcd) that you want to use. ■ To create a new file, type the file name.
