When you add a room configuration, you will associate templates with it. A template’s settings define how presentations are created, published and the media format types available. You can create custom presentation templates for use with your Recorder room configurations.
Sample naming and description conventions
When adding a room configuration, it is helpful to use a consistent naming scheme and to include the recording capabilities in the description so users adding rooms will have guidelines to follow.
