TLDR: Need to record a quick video? You can use Speakflow to record videos using your webcam.
Note: Speakflow is best used along with professional teleprompter hardware. However, we do offer video recording functionality for those that would like to record with their webcam. You could also choose to record video with Zoom, Apple's Photobooth software, etc.
Overview
Speakflow's video feature (in beta) is useful for things like recording quick team updates and short video messages to share with colleagues. We recommend keeping the record time around 5-10 minutes. If you're recording long-form video (more than 10 minutes), we recommend using dedicated video recording devices or software such as Photobooth.
Plans
Free users can record videos and download the video locally in .webm format, the video isn't stored by Speakflow.
Plus and Pro users can record and save multiple takes to Speakflow, and easily share them via a link. Those with HD webcams can record full 1920x1080p video.
