Need to record a quick video? You can use Speakflow to record videos using your webcam.

Overview

Speakflow's video feature lets you record quick videos using your webcam while reading from the teleprompter. We recommend keeping recordings around 10 minutes. For longer content, consider dedicated video recording software.

Paid plan users can save multiple takes and share them via link. Free users cannot currently save recordings.

Sharing Your Video

To share your video, click "Your Videos" on the left side of the main scripts page.

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

Deleting Your Video

You can delete a video or multiple videos by dragging a selection box and selecting your videos, then selecting "Delete Video". You can also use the three-dot dropdown menu and select delete.
