How does Live Record work?

Updated this week

Live Record is currently available on our Enterprise Beta and Pro Beta tiers

Live Record lets you guide contributors in real-time, making it faster, easier, and less intimidating to capture great content.

Whether you're helping someone deliver a great answer or need to move quickly on an urgent project, Live Record gives you the tools to direct and support contributors as they film.

  • Guide contributors as they record, so they feel more confident.

  • Let you give instant feedback and direction.

  • Capture each participant’s video separately, making editing much easier.

How to use it

  1. Select Live Record

    When creating your project, select Live Record in the share panel popup.

    You can also access this anytime by going into the project setup and the selecting Live record from the share panel on the right.

  2. Share the Live Record link

    Copy the live record link and share this with your contributors (we recommend arranging a time to meet in advance).

  3. Choose a scene to record

    Once inside, contributors can select a scene and record their take.

  4. Join the session via the link Both you (as the host) and your contributors will need to use the Live Record link to join the session. You can then meet in the Live Record room at the agreed time.

  5. Save or upload the take

    After recording, contributors choose whether to save/upload or delete the take. If saved, the take is uploaded directly into the project.

  6. Record multiple takes if needed

    Contributors can record several takes for the same scene—great for trying different answers or approaches.

  7. Automatic safeguards for disconnections

    If someone loses connection during recording, they can save the video locally and upload it later. No footage is lost.

Key features

  • Real-time feedback: Direct contributors to get exactly what you need.

  • Separate recordings: Each person’s footage is saved individually, ready for editing.

  • Confidence boost: Live interaction helps contributors feel more relaxed and natural.
