With RealVNC\u2019s session recording feature, it\u2019s easy to create a visual record of your work, capturing everything from onboarding walkthroughs to complex troubleshooting steps.<\/p><p>Whether you\u2019re training new team members, demonstrating compliance during audits, or just saving time on repetitive support tasks, recording your remote sessions can be a game-changer.<\/p><h2>Why should you record VNC sessions?<\/h2><p>Recording remote sessions provides your business with a clear trail of what happened, who was involved, and when, which can be critical for IT teams reviewing support issues, trainers delivering consistent demos, and managers meeting compliance requirements.<\/p><p>Some common use cases include:<\/p><ul><li><p><strong>Training and Onboarding: <\/strong>Record complex software training sessions and reuse them. New employees can watch these recordings at their leisure, and the training process will be consistent and time-saving for trainers.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Auditing and Compliance:<\/strong>\u00a0Record workflows or processes on video for auditing purposes. This is particularly useful in regulated industries where you need to keep a detailed record of what was done on remote systems for compliance.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Customer Support and IT Troubleshooting:<\/strong>\u00a0Record screen sessions while providing\u00a0<a href=\"\/en\/discover\/remote-access-instant-customer-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">remote support<\/a>\u00a0to be transparent and accountable. This is great for documenting how issues were resolved or for reference if the same issue comes up again.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p><a href=\"\/en\/connect\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RealVNC Connect<\/a>\u00a0enables secure, transparent recording of <a href=\"\/en\/discover\/remote-work-from-home-access\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">remote desktop<\/a> sessions. Read on for how to set it up and tips to organize, share, and secure your recordings<\/p><h2>Security you can trust<\/h2><p>Every recording carries the same protection as a live RealVNC session. That means full end-to-end encryption and enterprise-grade security. If you work in a regulated industry, it gives you the ability to prove exactly how remote access was handled, and it ensures sensitive data isn\u2019t exposed. Plus, keeping session logs makes audits far less stressful.<\/p><h2>A new unified experience in v8<\/h2><p>Starting with version 8, RealVNC Connect brings together the VNC Viewer and VNC Server into a unified app for Windows, macOS, and Linux. So, whether you\u2019re connecting to another computer or sharing your own, everything is now accessible from a single interface.<\/p><p><em>Note: If you need to use the separate Server and Viewer apps, you can still <\/em><a href=\"\/en\/connect\/download\/vnc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>download them<\/em><\/a><em> from the RealVNC website.<\/em><\/p><h2>Before you begin, set your screen recording preferences<\/h2><p>RealVNC Connect allows you to record sessions as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmproject.org\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WebM<\/a> video file.
