Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method for recording a virtual collaboration session between a plurality of users, comprising:
establishing, by a processor and via a communication network, a communication channel between a first interface device and a second interface device by routing communication data between the first interface device and the second interface device during the virtual collaboration session, the second interface device associated with a user of the plurality of users;
generating, by the processor, a virtual environment representing a physical location including a building;
providing, by the processor and via the communication network, the virtual environment to the first interface device and to the second interface device;
causing, by the processor, a data capture tool to be presented via at least the second interface device and within the virtual environment, wherein the data capture tool includes a virtual recording tool that is configured to capture session data within the virtual environment;
receiving, by the processor and via the communication network, a data capture command from the second interface device, wherein the data capture command:
is generated by the second interface device at a particular time, and
comprises a request to capture a virtual video from a viewing perspective of the second interface device within the virtual environment with the data capture tool;

determining, by the processor, a state of the virtual environment as presented via the second interface device at the particular time;
generating, by the processor, a representation of the virtual environment, wherein the representation illustrates the physical location according to the state of the virtual environment, and the representation includes the virtual video representing movements of the user interacting with the virtual environment and providing an assessment of the building; and
storing the representation in a memory.
