TeamViewer to record a 1-participant meeting, with screen capture, audio

1

Has anyone worked out how to use TeamViewer 9 to record a solo session, say a self-hosted "meeting" with no actual participants? Similar to camtasia, I want to record my screen, along with audio in a movie file, for documentation purposes. Adding in video and whiteboarding could be massively useful. A group I'm working with already uses TeamViewer, so recording meetings as well as (one-person) presentations with a single tool could be efficient for us.

These instructions for recording seem only to work when I join a meeting hosted elsewhere, not when I'm hosting the meeting and there are no participants.

These instructions for converting .TVS to .AVI seem helpful once I have already recorded a session.

I am pretty sure your attempting to use the wrong tool if you are trying to capture your screen. There are far better tools for something like that. – Ramhound – 2014-06-12T16:30:26.703

Specifics, @Ramhound. What far better tools? – Bob Stein – 2014-06-12T16:53:06.860

There are tools designed specifically to record your desktop and audio instructions. – Ramhound – 2014-06-12T16:59:05.757

I managed to do exactly that, by starting a meeting and log in in from my mobile, and started recording then. Without a participant you can not record a presenter.
