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. 

Speakflow's video feature is useful for things like recording quick team updates and short video messages to share with colleagues. 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.

Free users can record videos and download the video locally in .webm format, the video isn't stored by Speakflow.

Users on paid plans can record and save multiple takes to Speakflow, and easily share them via a link. Those with HD webcams can record full 1920x1080p video.

Open a script

To record a video, create or open a script in Presentation mode.

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.

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.

Vertical video can only be recorded from Mobile Devices that support vertical video recording.

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. 

Your microphone and camera settings are controlled through the web browser. Click here for more info: https://www.speakflow.com/docs/changing-your-microphone

When you stop the recording, the video will automatically prompt you to download the video in .webm format.

Plus and Pro users have the option to share the video via a link.

To download a video, go to the "Watch" page by clicking the link in the modal after recording a video (seen below). 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 see previously recorded videos by going to the Scripts home page, then clicking "Videos" from the dropdown options on a script.

This will take you to your "Videos" panel for that script. From this screen you'll be able to view all the takes recorded using that script.

Then, click on any of your takes, and you'll be able to request a download. Videos can take up to 30 minutes to process (depending on length).

You can delete a video or multiple videos by checking the delete box attached to your video and selecting "Delete Selected Video".

Your browser will prompt you to confirm and your video will be permanently deleted.
