Frequently asked questions
Is the saved video mirrored?
No. The mirror is only for the preview, so writing and logos read correctly in the saved file.
The camera does not start. What should I check?
Allow camera access in the browser's address bar, close other apps that are using the camera, and make sure the page is loaded over HTTPS.
Can I record on my phone?
Yes. Mobile Safari and Chrome can record from the front or back camera.
Is my recording uploaded?
No. Nothing is sent anywhere; the recording is created on your device.
What quality is the recording?
The browser records at your camera's default resolution, usually 720p or 1080p, at a high bitrate.
Is there a time limit?
No fixed limit, but recordings are held in memory until downloaded, so very long takes need plenty of free memory.
