First: stay calm. Your recording is saved in small pieces on your computer while you record. You lose about 2 seconds at most.
If you refreshed or closed the tab
- Open the room again with the same link.
- Allow camera and microphone.
- Keep recording, or stop and finish.
- Your earlier pieces are kept. The next time you come back, the app uploads the rest.
If your internet dropped
- Keep the tab open. Do not close it.
- When the internet returns, the app uploads what is left by itself.
- The call may freeze. The recording does not, because it is made on your computer.
If your computer crashed or the browser closed
- Open the same browser on the same computer.
- Go to
/rec/recover. - The page finishes any uploads that were left.
If a recording is stuck on "Preparing…"
- Go to Library → Videos tab.
- Find the recording card. Click the ⋮ menu.
- Choose Try again. If you do not need it, choose Delete.
- After about an hour of being stuck, the app marks it as failed and tells you. Then you can retry or delete.
Tips to avoid problems
- Use a cable or a strong Wi-Fi.
- Close other heavy apps and tabs.
- Charge your laptop.
- Do a short test recording first.
