What are the video attributes? Framerate, bit rate, audio bit rate, bit depth, etc?
Descript Rooms offers high-quality recordings, but specific attributes like framerate, bit rate, audio bit rate, and bit depth depend on your Room settings. More details can be found here Room settings.
How do I get to SquadCast now that I have Rooms?
To continue using SquadCast, you’ll need to go directly to the SquadCast website. Rooms and SquadCast are separate, and both can be used for different recording purposes.
How do I access Descript Rooms
To access Descript Rooms, you should see an option to create a Room from your drive view.
What happens with the files after recording?
Once recording ends, your Descript project will organize files into a “Recordings” folder. Backup files, such as isolated tracks, will be available immediately, while primary files are uploaded and processed before appearing in your project. These are organized as follows: Recordings > Primaries, Backups. More details can be found here Editing a Descript Rooms Project.
Why are you launching a second double-ended recorder?
Descript Rooms builds on the vision we started with SquadCast, combining high-quality multitrack recording, progressive uploads, and guest-friendly features directly into Descript. Our goal is to streamline the recording-to-editing process within a single platform, offering a comprehensive solution for users.
Is Descript Rooms free?
Both SquadCast and Rooms are included with your Descript subscription— however, subscription-based limitations, such as the number of recording hours you have per month, do apply. For more details, see Understanding how recording hours works with Descript Rooms
Do Descript Rooms recordings use transcription minutes?
Using Rooms to record does not count against your transcription balance.
Will SquadCast go away?
Eventually, Descript Rooms will replace SquadCast, but this is a gradual process. We’ll provide plenty of notice before the transition, along with training materials, help center content, and walkthroughs to make the switch as smooth as possible. We don’t have a specific sunset date for SquadCast yet, but when the time comes, you will have ample notice and preparation, along with resources to help you make the transition to Rooms.
I like SquadCast and don’t want this replacement.
Rooms will not replace SquadCast until it meets or exceeds its capabilities. We encourage you to try Rooms and share your feedback. Your input is valuable in making Rooms the best possible tool.
Does Rooms support my browser or device?
Currently, Rooms supports Chrome and Chromium-based browsers only. As development progresses, we plan to add support for other browsers and mobile devices.
Will features like shows and show manager logins from SquadCast transfer to Descript Rooms?
We’re still finalizing the details of how SquadCast features will integrate with Rooms. Our goal is to refine and improve upon SquadCast's strengths, making the platform even more accessible and user-friendly. Your feedback is key in shaping these updates, so feel free to submit feature requests for anything you’d like to see.
