<h4>Frequently Asked Questions</h4>
<h4>How do I record my screen?</h4>
<p>Click “Start New Recording” in the Talk Recorder admin page. Your browser will ask what you want to share – choose your entire screen, a specific window, or just the browser tab.</p>
<h4>What video format are recordings saved in?</h4>
<p>Recordings are saved as WebM files, which provide excellent quality with smaller file sizes. WebM files can be played in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Vivaldi, and VLC Media Player. They can also be uploaded to YouTube and Vimeo.</p>
<h4>Can I record audio with my screen?</h4>
<p>Yes! The plugin includes an option to record microphone audio along with your screen. Make sure to check the “Include microphone audio” checkbox before starting your recording.</p>
<h4>What if I’m using a local development site?</h4>
<p>If you’re using a <code>.local</code> domain (like Local by Flywheel), you may need to access your site via <code>localhost</code> or enable HTTPS. Screen recording requires a secure context (HTTPS or localhost). See the plugin’s admin page for detailed instructions.</p>
<h4>Can I edit my recordings?</h4>
<p>The free version allows you to preview and download recordings. For editing features like trimming, cutting segments, and adding guides, check out SFR Talk Recorder Pro.</p>
<h4>How do I change the recording quality?</h4>
<p>Before starting a recording, you can select from Low (720p), Medium (1080p), or High (1080p) quality settings. Higher quality means larger file sizes.</p>
