The upgraded recording experience includes
Guided recording
Real-time feedback on positioning, lighting, and audio helps you get it right the first time.
- Framing assistance: An on-screen guide helps you position yourself in the shot.
- Lighting assistance: Get alerts when your surroundings are too dark or too bright.
- Audio feedback: Monitor your microphone levels and get alerts when your sound is too low or consistently too high.

Built-in teleprompter
Stay on script with adjustable scrolling speed and text size.
- On-screen script: Type or paste your script and follow it while looking at the camera. The script is visible only to you.
- Adjustable reading controls: Choose your preferred scrolling speed, text size, and contrast. Move the teleprompter anywhere over the preview.
- Automatic synchronization: Follow your script as it scrolls automatically, pausing and resuming along with your recording.
Professional appearance
Blur your background or choose a virtual background.
- Background blur: Choose between light and strong blur.
- Virtual backgrounds: Select from six built-in backgrounds or upload your own image.

Enhanced audio
Reduce noise, cancel echo, and balance audio levels for clearer sound.

Each audio setting can be turned on or off.
Flexible recording formats
Choose video quality and format settings, including portrait (9:16) recording for mobile-friendly content.
- Orientation: Record in landscape (16:9) or portrait (9:16), even with cameras that only support landscape capture.
- Video quality: Choose resolutions from SD to 4K and frame rates from 24 to 60 fps.
- Format and codec: Select from available WebM or MP4 formats and supported codecs.

- Review before saving: Preview your recording, record again, download a copy, or select Use this to upload it to Kaltura.
