TLDR: Need to record a quick video? You can use Speakflow to record videos using your webcam.
Overview
Speakflow's video feature is useful for things like recording quick team updates and short video messages to share with others. We recommend keeping the record time around 10 minutes. If you're recording long-form video (more than ~20minutes), we recommend using dedicated video recording devices or software.
Our customers on paid plans can record and save multiple takes to Speakflow, and easily share them via a link. Users on a free plan are currently unable to record video. However, it can still be used with external video recording tools.
Recording a Video
Open a script
To record a video with Speakflow, create or open a script in Presentation mode.
Recording
Hover over the "Video" option at the bottom and click "Start Recording". Once you press the record button, a 3-second countdown will appear and the recording will begin. Those with HD webcams can record full 1920x1080p video, enable it in the settings (gear icon to the bottom right).
The video will begin recording after a short countdown.
Once the recording starts, you'll be able to see yourself behind the text. The teleprompter will also start.
As you record, you can see yourself in the background of the script. To stop the recording, click "Stop" in the bottom left-hand corner.
Note: Vertical video can only be recorded from Mobile Devices that support vertical video recording.
