This article explains how to access, review, and edit a recorded session within your SimCapture organization.
Things to Know Before You Begin
- You do not need to be on the local network to access administrative functions or debrief sessions.
- If you don't know your username or password, or don't have an account, please contact your System Administrator or email SimCapture Support.
Key Terms
- Summary: Displays basic session information. If you're the owner or a contributor, you can edit or delete the session using the icon in the upper-right corner.
-
People: Session users are grouped as:
- Owners: Full control, including deletion.
- Contributors: Can edit and annotate (permissions vary).
- Participants: Can annotate and view others' annotations.
- Viewers: Can only view the session and Summary tab.
- External Link: Owners or System Admins can enable a public link to the session video (no annotations, simulator data, or user info included).
- Annotate: Use predefined or ad-hoc annotations to mark key moments in the session timeline.
- Event Log: Lists all annotations. Clicking one jumps to that moment in the video.
Viewing a Recorded Session

- If this was your most recent session, check the Quick Debrief pod.
- Otherwise, click Sessions in the global navigation and select the session title.

First-time loading may take a few seconds. If it takes longer than 10 seconds or feeds don't load, please report the issue.
Editing and Annotating a Session

Trimming a Session (Optional)

- In the lower-right corner, click the Trim icon.
- Make your edits and click Save.
Caution: Trimming will permanently replace the original video. All evaluations will be transferred to the edited version.
