How to Record an Issue for CallPotential Support
Table of Contents
1. Download Recording Software
First, in order to begin recording your screen, we will need to download some screen recorder software. In order to do this, you will want to navigate to http://www.sketchman-studio.com/download/Rylstim-Screen-Recorder.exe
2. Install the Software
Once the file is downloaded, if you are in Google Chrome, the downloaded file will automatically appear at the bottom left corner of the browser. From here, you will want to click the file to run the installation. After you click the file, follow the prompts to install the software. Once the installation is complete, you will now have a copy of the software on your computer, and can begin recording your screen.
3. Open the Program
Now that the program is on your computer, you will want to open it up so you can begin recording. In order to do this, you will want to navigate to your desktop, and double-click the icon titled "Screen Recorder" (1).
4. Select the Monitor, Frame Rate, and Codec
Set the following to configure the recording:
- Monitor - Needs to be the monitor where you're going to have callpotential open! If you just have one monitor, the default will be fine.
- Codec - Needs to be set as to "Xvid MPEG -4 Codec"
- Frame Rate - Needs to be set to 8.
These settings will ensure that the correct file type is used, and that the file isn't massive when it's time to pull it from your screen.
5. Run the Screen Recorder (4 hours MAXIMUM)
You will now want to click "Start Recorder" to Start the recording. KEEP IN MIND that this recording will work for 4 hours. So after 4 hours of recording, you will want to STOP the recording by double-clicking the icon again, closing the video that pops up, and clicking "Start Recording" again.
6. Open the Console Window and Resize to your Liking
In order to ensure we capture the correct information when the issue pops up, once you are logged in to the agent interface, you will want to hit CTRL + SHIFT + J to pull up the console window. You can resize this window by hovering the mouse over the near side of the console until the mouse changes to a double-sided arrow, and click and drag the menu towards the side of your screen to make it smaller. If you want to change where the console is (top, left, or right side of screen), simply click the three little dots (1 in screenshot), and select the orientation you wish to have it! You just want to make sure that this console window is visible, so that we can pull the recording and see the console errors that pop up!
7. What to do When the Issue Comes up
Make sure that you look at the clock to determine the time the issue took place. Then, click the "Chat Now" button at the bottom corner of the screen, and let a support agent know that you have captured an issue on recording. Let the agent know what the issue was and what time it happened, and they can pull the recording to view the issue taking place.
