Interesting but not really useful. You can easily record your session yourself with a free program and skip this rediculous 1€ per 10 min. fee. Also the website does look like it was hacked together in like..maybe also 10mins ? I would take it down and rework it to a more mature product.

Edit: There could be more features like auto upload to youtube etc. or automated marking of the current broadcaster

Thanks for feedback!

I can assure you it took longer than 10 minutes but we saw that getting this online was more important than getting it look beautiful.

Of course you can use 3rd party screen recorder to save that, but that's one extra step there.

Auto upload to youtube could be one option, but it requires getting authorization from user.

Converting TVS files to _reasonable_ MP4 is quite hard and time-taking task and we are trying to automate it. With a fee.

I had this problem last year, and the only thing I managed to do was forcing my peers to all install TeamViewer :)))

Very specific service that potentially can generates you enough side-income :) I love this kind of project!

If anything, maybe create a freemium model... make it free for anything less than 3 mins?

If you guys decide to shelve the project in the future, or deem it economically unviable, I’d be interested in facilitating incorporating your code into ffmpeg. But only if it turns into abandonware. Hope it pays off for your team!

Handbrake (Max OS X) should handle it without a problem.

Yes it should, but it wont.
