Locally recorded means that the recording takes place on the computer instead of over the internet. The advantage of this is that the recordings are in studio quality and after downloading the recording you won't hear the disruptions caused by bad internet connections. For each guest you get a separate locally recorded track.
You can use the free plan for as long as you want- there is no limit. The free plan gives you access to unlimited hours of high quality audio and video recording, editing features and separate tracks for up to 2 hours of recording. After 2 hours, you will get a single track for the entire recording. If you would like to continue getting separate tracks beyond 2 hours or would like to remove the watermark from your recordings, please take a look at our different plans on our pricing page.
The audio recordings are WAV 48 kHz 16-bit format. We record locally and you can use your preferred mic. The video recordings are up to 4K resolution and depend on the webcam of each participant. You can record 60 minutes for free and see how it sounds and looks for yourself :).
A show can have 8 streams in total. 1 host + 7 guests
We don't cut you off, but if you record consistently more than your limit we will reach out to you and get you to upgrade your account.
No, we automatically upload the local recordings during the recording so the host can download all local recordings from the participants after the podcast.
No, you will send them a link that gives them access to the session.
Absolutely. What’s more, the guest link of each podcast session is reusable, so if you wanted to record again with the same people, they could easily join the session using the same link. This is quite convenient because you can simply create a session and invite all future guests by sharing the same link every time. All the recordings you create will be saved on your Dashboard.
