Record Audio Only
The Desktop Recording Client supports an audio only mode which can be used to record only audio.
Intro
When the audio only mode is turned on, the [Record Video] button changes to [Record Audio] in the Desktop Recording Client.
Also, a microphone icon will be shown (instead of the live video preview) when recording on the spot:
If the Recording Client is set up to accept uploaded files as well, the [Upload Video] button changes to [Upload Audio] and the underlying accept attribute on the <input type="file" field changes from accept="" to accept="audio/*".
