Can I record system audio?
Yes, in Chrome and Edge you can capture system audio along with your microphone when sharing a browser tab.
What's the maximum recording length?
You can record up to 5 minutes per session. For longer recordings, consider using a dedicated desktop application.
Can I edit my recording before exporting?

How long do shared videos last?
Shared videos are automatically deleted after 48 hours. The viewing page shows the remaining time until expiration.
Can I password protect my shared videos?
Yes! When sharing, you can enable end-to-end encryption with a password. The video is encrypted in your browser before upload, so only people with the password can view it.
