  • Publication number: 20110249954
    Abstract: Presentations during an online conference are captured for subsequent playback. An instance of a presentation viewer is deployed to capture the presentation. Annotations and timing data are captured separately. The presentation with the annotations is recorded through a video encoding codec in a desired format, while timing and similar data is stored as metadata. Multiple presentations may be recorded separately to conserve resources. The recordation and the metadata can be subsequently played back to a requesting user.
