Recording Video In-Browser

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.

Video & Microphone Settings

You can change your mic and camera settings by clicking the "gear" icon in the bottom right-hand corner. To record in Full 1080 HD, check the box. Otherwise, videos will record in 720p.

You'll see a list of your recorded videos. Click any video to open its "watch" page. Here, you can play and download the video. The watch page has a unique URL you can share. Copy this URL from your browser's address bar to share the video. Remember, anyone with this link can view your video, so share carefully.

Downloading Your Video

After recording, the video will automatically prompt you to download the video in .webm format. We highly recommend doing this (as a backup file).

To download a video in .mp4 or .mov formats, go to the "Watch" page. To share, click the gray textbox to copy the URL to the video's page – you can paste it anywhere on the web, in emails, messaging apps, etc.
You can download your uploaded video in different formats:
  1. Go to the video "watch" page
  2. Click the "Download" button to show available formats
  3. Click your preferred format (e.g., MP4, etc)
  4. The download will begin
