How long can I record?
Screen Capture
There is no limitation on how long you can record. However, our team’s recommendation is to record in increments of 15 minutes or less. Recording and uploading is resource intensive. Longer recordings may fail to upload. If a recording fails to upload, it cannot be recovered.
Webcam

No. If a recording fails to upload, it cannot be recovered.
Can deleted media be recovered?
No. We recommend creating a collection to store media temporarily before deletion. Once you are certain, you no longer need the media, proceed with deletion.

Some files may fail to upload due to how the file is encoded. If a file fails to upload, try converting it to another format, such as .mp4. This format tends to upload more consistently.
