Check if your webcam supports 4K recording

Descript does not currently support recording in 4K on Windows. For non-Windows users, confirm if your device supports 4K recording with these steps:
  • In Chrome, visit: chrome://media-internals/
  • In Edge, visit: edge://media-internals/
  • Look under the Video Capture tab to view supported resolutions.
If 4K isn’t listed, your webcam may not support 4K video capture in Descript.
