The HTML5 Media Player enables you to play recordings from the Recorded Interactions list. It opens automatically when you play a recording. By default, it opens in the same window and tab as the Recorded Interactions list, but you can choose to open a recording in a new window, and you can change the default behavior.
The Media Player has three panes that display different information about a recorded interaction:
- Video/Audio pane—Displays the audio portion of a recorded interaction with a waveform display that shows you a visual representation of the sounds and voices recorded during the call and includes a set of controls and other options that you can use when playing the recording.
- Screen Capture pane—Displays the video portion of recordings, if your organization uses NICE Uptivity Screen Recording. This pane includes a set of controls so you can zoom in and out on the video. If your organization does not use NICE Uptivity Screen Recording, you can hide the Screen Capture pane by clicking the X in the upper right corner of the pane.
- Details pane—Displays information about any events that have been tagged in the recording. If this pane is empty, the recording doesn't contain any tagged events.
Open the Media Player
- In the NICE Uptivity Web Portal, click Interactions List.
- Click the Play icon next to a recording. The Media Player opens in the same browser window below the Recorded Interactions list.
- If you want to open the player in a new browser window, pause or stop the playback, then right-click on the recording in the Recorded Interactions list and click Play → In New Window.
Use the Video/Audio Pane
The Video/Audio pane gives you controls for playing a recording similar to a standard media player. It shows you a waveform display for the recording, which gives you a visual representation of the audio portion of the call. If a recording contains any events such as screen locks or crosstalk, Uptivity tags those events and displays them in the waveform. You can see additional information about these events in the Swimlanes
The group setting in your ACD/PBX (for example, hunt group, skill group, or labor group). and in the Details pane.
- If the Media Player is not already open, click the Play icon next to a recording in the Recorded Interactions list to open it.
-
Click the Play icon (located on the control bar beneath the waveform display) if the recording doesn't automatically start to play.
