Markers allow users to insert searchable information into a specific point within the recording. Markers also act as index points within the recording allowing users to easily navigate to that point during review. Markers can be added during the live recording or when reviewing a recording.
TIP: Pin the marker menu so it does not auto-collapse after a marker is added (after you click Save). This is useful if you intend to insert multiple markers while doing live observation. |
