Features · Recording

Saved as you go.

Recording is not the risky part any more.

Nothing uploaded

Safe, then kept.

A take is written to your browser's private storage while you record, so a crash or a closed tab does not lose it. When you finish you decide: keep it, and it is stored with your account, or discard it. Nothing is uploaded before that.

Chapters for free.

Every layout and source switch is a mark on the timeline. Facecast turns the marks into chapters and into lines you can paste into a video description, like 00:00 Intro.

Questions

About recording.

Is there a limit on recording?

No. Recording time and the number of takes are not limited on any plan. Plans count the recordings you keep: 200 on Pro, 400 on Premium and 1000 on Max.

Which file do I get?

MP4 where your browser can record it, and WebM where it cannot. The studio tells you which one your browser makes.

Is my recording uploaded?

Not until you keep the take. Recording happens in your browser, and a kept take is stored with your Facecast account. You can also save it to your Geenius OS Media library.

What if my browser crashes mid-take?

A take is saved to your browser's private storage as you record, so a crash or a closed tab does not lose it. Open the studio again and it offers to recover the take.

Does it work on a phone?

You can record with the camera. Sharing a screen is not available on phones, so the content layouts that need a screen are limited there.

What is the pop-out control bar?

A small control bar that floats above other windows so you can run a take while looking at another app. It uses the Document Picture-in-Picture feature, which Chrome and Edge have.

Record the first take.
