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.

■
To add the recording to the end of an existing record file, select the file
