==vCasts== | |||
[[vCasts]], released for early access on December 19, 2016, allows users to record vTime sessions and view them later. They can either view the sessions privately or share them to the public library. | |||
#To watch another user’s vCast, head to the Connections Screen, and find the user whose content you wish to view. (If the user whose content you wish to view is not online, you'll need to search for them in List View on the Connections screen) | |||
#Users with newly published content will have a grey star in the bottom left hand corner of their avatar bubble to alert you to newly published content. | |||
#If the user has recorded vCasts for you to view, a ‘Published’ option will now appear beneath their avatar bubble. | |||
#Select Published, and you'll be shown the user's published vCast library. | |||
#Select the file you wish to view. Choose the 'View' option. | |||
#The first time you watch a vCast, you’ll be presented with a disclaimer. Accept to watch the content. | |||
#And you’re away! You can look around any recording as though it were a live session. Recorded vCasts can be watched as many times as you like. | |||
