The recording feature requires the Microsoft DirectShow API, which means the recording workstation must have Microsoft Windows Media Player installed. By default, Windows Media Player is installed except for select Microsoft Windows N editions. For more information on Microsoft Windows N editions, see the following Microsoft article:
