Frequently Asked Questions

Are my webcam recordings uploaded to any cloud server?
No. All video and audio chunks are processed entirely within your browser's local memory using the HTML5 MediaRecorder API. No data is ever transmitted to remote servers.
Which video formats are supported?
Our recorder automatically detects your browser's hardware capabilities, supporting WebM with VP9/VP8, H.264 GPU acceleration, and MP4 containers on modern browsers.
Is there a recording time limit?
There are no arbitrary time limits. You can record clips as long as your device's free RAM allows.
Why is there no audio in my recorded video?
Ensure you grant microphone permission in addition to camera permission, and check that your microphone is not muted in system sound settings.
Can I record in Full HD 1080p?
Yes. If your webcam hardware supports 1080p, the recorder automatically captures at maximum native sensor resolution.
Does the recorder work on mobile devices?
Yes, it works smoothly on Android Chrome and iOS Safari (iOS 14.3+) with native front-facing camera recording.
