Recording remotely with SquadCast? These tips will help ensure a smooth session and high-quality results for you and your guests.
Before recording
- Wear wired headphones to prevent echo and mic bleed.
- Restart your computer to refresh permissions and clear any background processes.
- Close any unnecessary apps and browser tabs. Keep SquadCast as the focused tab during your session.
- Wait for all participants to join before pressing record to ensure everyone's track is captured.
- Make a short (~1-minute) test recording and play it back to check sound quality before you start.
During the session
- If someone disconnects, refresh the page and wait for everyone to rejoin before continuing.
After recording
Keep the SquadCast window open until processing is finished
After the session ends, all participants must leave their SquadCast tab open until their files finish uploading. Closing the browser prematurely can result in lost or incomplete recordings. A confirmation will appear in the lower-right corner when the upload is complete—only then is it safe to close the page.
