What to consider when choosing an online video recorder

Just because you’re recording online, doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice quality. A good online recorder should capture high-resolution video. We suggest at least HD resolution or higher and local recording so your internet connection doesn’t affect the quality of your video. If you’re recording on the go, look for mobile compatibility and it’s worth checking out remote guest features if you don’t want to record alone.

Top recording quality should be the main priority, but easy editing tools can add a lot to your videos. These should be automated and help you fine-tune audio, clip your video and customize it visually. If you prefer advanced editing, make sure your online recorder offers separate tracks for more post-production flexibility. Extra features worth considering include screensharing, live streaming, and transcription.
