Syteca integrates with the Venn app launcher so that only user activity inside applications opened in a Venn workspace is monitored on Windows and macOS Clients.
IN SAAS ONLY: the EkranServer.Settings.config file isn’t available in SaaS. Contact your Syteca vendor or the Syteca Support team to enable Venn integration in a SaaS environment instead of following the steps below.
1

Open the Application Server settings file

On the Application Server computer, open EkranServer.Settings.config (by default in C:\Program Files\Ekran System\Ekran System\Server).
2

Add the Venn integration key

3

Restart the Application Server

Save the file, then restart the EkranServer service.
Once enabled, Syteca records only applications opened inside a Venn workspace on Windows and macOS Clients. In the Session Player, only the user’s currently active window is shown — the desktop and any windows outside the Venn workspace stay hidden, displayed against a black or white background if the active window isn’t full screen.
Enabling Venn integration automatically turns on Capture active window only and locks it — the checkbox can no longer be changed in the Management Tool.
