Step 2. Create association of Mikogo with BS4 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BS4 file to open in the Mikogo application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BS4 file with the Mikogo application.

Step 3. Update Mikogo to the latest version

If, however, after binding Mikogo with Mikogo Session Video Recording there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the BeamYourScreen website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BS4 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BS4 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BS4 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected BS4 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of BS4 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BS4 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting BeamYourScreen, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BS4 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move BS4 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BS4 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BS4 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
