Table of Contents
This article will show you how to view 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 functionality or debrief sessions.
- Contact your system administrator or email Support if you do not know your username or password or do not have an account yet.
Terms you should know
Summary: Shows basic Session information. If you are the owner or a contributor of this Session, you can edit and delete the Session using the icon in the upper right.
People: Session users are split into four groups:
- Owners: can do everything related to a Session, including deleting it.
- Contributors: can have different Session permissions, including editing and annotating. To edit a contributor’s permissions, click on their name in People edit mode (assuming you are the session owner).
- Participants: The users in the Session can be permitted as a group to make annotations and view others’ annotations during this Session.
- Viewers: are only allowed to view the Session and the Summary tab. They can also be permitted to view annotations as a group but cannot make annotations.
- External Link: The owner of a session or a System Administrator can enable an external link to a session, allowing non-SimCapture users to view the session video without logging in. This link does not include supplemental session information such as simulator data, annotations, users, etc.
Annotate: The top bar will filter predefined annotations below, and if none match, clicking the button will add the annotation to the timeline as an ad-hoc annotation. Clicking on any predefined annotation from the list will add it to the timeline at that point.
Event Log: The event log will display annotations that have already been made. Clicking on an item will act as a bookmark and take you to that point in the Session.
View a recorded session
- Navigate to the SimCapture website at HTTPS://[yoursiteurl].simcapture.com.
- Log in using your SimCapture username and password or SSO if enabled for your site.
- If this was the last Session you were associated with, check the Quick Debrief pod to view your Session. Otherwise, click Sessions in the Global Navigation to find the Session you’re looking for, then click the Session Title.
The video will automatically start playing. You can pause/restart playing from the button to the left of the timeline. If this is the first time a session is being debriefed, it may take a few seconds to load. This is normal, but if the video takes longer than 10 seconds to load or specific feeds have trouble loading, please let us know to investigate.
If you wish to make annotations or edits to the Session, open the sidebar using the blue tab to the right of the session viewer.

(Optional): To edit/trim your session recording, click the session video you want to edit, go to the lower right-hand corner of your screen, and click the Trim symbol . Edit your video and then click Save.
Caution: The original video will not be available to you once this has been done. Additionally, all evaluations will be moved to the edited video.
- To return to the session list, hover your mouse over the blue line at the top of the screen to display the global navigation bar. Alternatively, clicking the back arrowon your browser will also return you to the previous page.
