I was looking for something like this since so long. Thank you for making it! Will test it out soon.

That's great to hear. I am going to put up some communication channel on the site soon so I can talk back and forth to users. Let me know if you have any recommendations on what that could look like. I have tried Discord, but I think I want something more one on one.

I'd love to make it do what you need.

It doesn't, and I need to put up a little blurb when it is launched on mobile. I will do that now.

Doesn't appear to work on Firefox or Safari — dialog closes immediately after opening.

I'm looking into it now. It has been tested on those but I've made some changes to the home page that might have broken that. Thank you!

How long can the recordings be? Recently needed to do some 1-2hr long recordings. Look works pretty well for that, QuickTime + OBS could, but generates massive files, which are hard to share

Does the video get stored on your server at any point in the process?

Might be worth calling that out either way.
