Limiting the Length of Recordings

Recordings made with our Desktop Recording Client on the spot using a webcam and/or microphone can be limited in length. Once the time limit is hit, the recorder stops the recording process.

New Embed Codes #

When generating a new embed code from the Pipe account dashboard you can easily change the default length (600 seconds) by editing the Max Recording Time value and pressing the green Generate Embed Codes button.

The new embed code will create a Desktop Recording Client that will limit the length of the recordings made on the spot to your specified length.

The value is in seconds.

For existing embed codes that you have in your website or blog posts, you can edit the code directly. Here’s what you have to do depending on your embed code version and type:
