In the browser
Press Record in the session: the live picture is recorded as a WebM video and downloaded to your computer when you stop.
In the desktop app
Windows, macOS and Linux save the session as it arrives into Documents → Silux Connect Recordings. Only the parts of the screen that changed are stored, so files stay small. Replay them in Session recordings with play, pause, seek and 2× / 4× speed.
On phones
iPhone, iPad and Android record with the system screen recorder and offer to share or save the video when you stop.
Your data, your choice
Recording is always started by you. It never runs by itself and nothing is uploaded, so recordings follow your own retention policy.
Frequently asked questions
Where are recordings stored?
On the device you record on. Silux never receives or stores recordings.
Which plan includes recording?
Session recording is included from the Solo plan.
Does recording use more bandwidth?
No. The app records what it already receives; nothing extra is sent.
