Live Activity Control (LAC)

The Live Activity Control (LAC) page provides means to manually supervise and control video recording in all rooms within a single Activity, including access to the Intercom feature.
(See How to Access the Intercom - CO.)

The Live Activity Control page is accessible to users with either Administrator, Video Control, Video Control (full control), or Intercom privileges.

Easy Access to Live Activity Control via CO

In the latest versions of LearningSpace, users can open Live Activity Control (LAC) from the Center Overview page (CO) of the Recording module with a single click:

  2. On the Center Overview page, click on Open Live Activity Control.

  3. LAC opens in a pop-up.

  4. Using the Open in new browser tab option, the newly opened LAC pop-up can be popped out to a separate tab (enabling easily moving the new tab to a secondary screen).

  5. If clicked, it opens LAC in a new tab, and the browser will go to the new tab, closing the previously opened LAC pop-up.

Managing Flexi events on LAC

Flexi events can be managed via the Live Activity Control page.

The Encounter can be started and stopped here, and the Status of the participants can be followed as well.

Flexi events are displayed with the associated Activity’s title and marked as “FLEXI” in the Activity dropdown.


Learn more on the Flexible (‘Flexi’) Scheduling page.
