We are pleased to announce the first version of the REC.VC Admin Interface enabling service integrators, resellers and channel partners to:
- View and manage customers and prospects in a multi-tenant hierarchy fashion
- Provision users and recorders for customers and prospects
- Analyze usage stats for customers and prospects
- View recording call logs
Access to the Admin Interface can be provided with one of the following permission levels:
- Admin Read Access
- Admin Read/Write Access
We’ll initially provide resellers with Admin Read Access and at a later stage when the reseller is comfortable taking ownership of provisioning, provide applicable resellers with Admin Read/Write Access.
End customers can also be granted Admin Read Access to view their own users, recorders, usage stats, and more.
To request Admin Read Access for one or more users, the primary commercial or technical contact with the reseller needs to email support@rec.vc and include the name(s) and email address(es) of the applicable user(s).Â
The REC.VC Administration Guide for Resellers can be viewed/downloaded from here.
Resellers with REC.VC white label sites can access the Admin Interface using the following address: <white-label-site>/adm
Other resellers can access my.rec.vc/adm
Service integrators can also access the same set of Admin features via the REC.VC API.

Today during the REC.VC maintenance window (Thursday, 6.00 – 8.00 AM CEST) we released a new feature enabling REC.VC users to use their existing calendar applications to schedule REC.VC live streaming events. The new calendar feature is available when creating / editing a live stream and creates a calendar event with Live Stream Title and Live Stream URL populated by REC.VC.
When clicking on the Calendar icon users can choose between Google Calendar, Yahoo! Calendar and Outlook Calendar, in addition to the standard iCal Calendar format. The date and time of the event is by default set to +24 hours, but this can easily be changed in the calendar application before sending out the calendar invitation.
The release included all REC.VC sites (my.rec.vc and any white label site) and caused no downtime for users.
