Full Release Notes
- WebCodecs is now used for cloud recordings too, with faster encoding and smaller files - Recordings now write chunks directly to disk via OPFS instead of IndexedDB during the session, with much lower memory use and more reliable long sessions - Chrome extension auto-updates are now held until you're done recording or uploading, so updates can no longer interrupt an active session - Added clearer feedback for silent recordings, camera disconnections, failed restarts, and oversized GIF or audio exports - More resilient recording starts and recovery, including navigating away during the countdown, slower Windows cold-starts, and storage-write failures - Fixed tab recordings showing black bars when the recorded tab was narrower than the capture frame, and the first second of recordings sometimes showing stale frames after the countdown - Improved Pro upload reliability with better recovery from interrupted uploads
