Recording Link Encryption
Recording Links are treated as regular participants, however the
ALLOW_NON_ENCRYPT_RECORDING_LINK_IN_ENCRYPT_CONF system flag must be set to YES if
a non-encrypted Recording Link is to be allowed to connect to an encrypted conference.
The following table summarizes the connection possibilities for a Recording Link that is to be connected to
a conference for each of the conference profile and Entry Queue encryption options.
Enabling Media Encryption for a Conference
Media encryption is enabled at three levels:
● MCU level - Setting the Encryption Flags
