Notes:

  • For Internet Explorer, the audio and video playback works with Windows Media Player ActiveX component
  • For other browsers, the audio and video playback works with HTML5 audio and video capabilities using automatically transcoded PCM - Wav and mp4 media files.

Test whether the required components are properly installed or not, by clicking on the waveform icon left to the Verba Player title in the top-left corner of the player frame. This test feature is only available when a recorded media file is selected to play from a conversation list. If one of the required components are not properly installed the test will fail.
