Linking your SquadCast and Descript accounts brings them under one Descript subscription and login, so you handle billing, plans, and access in one place instead of two.
Skip SquadCast — record right in DescriptNow that Rooms is built directly into Descript, there’s no need to maintain both SquadCast and Descript accounts. Rooms (Descript’s built-in conferencing and recording tool) lets you meet, record, and collaborate all in one place. It’s simpler, faster, and fully integrated. Learn how to use Rooms.

After linking your accounts

Subscription and billingAfter linking, Descript manages your subscription; you won’t be billed separately for SquadCast. View or update your plan in your Descript account by visiting the Subscription tab or by opening the app and navigating to Settings > Plan. Learn more about managing your Descript + SquadCast subscription.See our guide on how billing works in Descript for more details.

Team members

Linking accounts doesn’t automatically sync team members between SquadCast and Descript. If you manage a team in either tool and want your teammates to collaborate in both, you’ll need to add them manually.

​
Importing recordings

Once your accounts are linked, import SquadCast recordings into Descript without downloading them. Learn more about importing SquadCast recordings into Descript.
