Recording Client
Pipe's powerful recording client supports audio, video & screen recording.
Fast Loading
We quickly deliver our JS video recording library to your website or app users through Amazon CloudFront's global CDN.
Streaming Recorder
We start streaming the recording data back to our media server as soon as the user starts recording. With a high enough bandwidth, there will be no upload time at the end.
Multilanguage
Our recording client is available in English, French, German, and Spanish. You can also use your own language file.
Record From Mobile Devices
In some use cases, the mobile device is the user's only device. The Pipe recording client can capture the device's front or back cameras.
Up to 4k Video
Pipe can record and adequately manage videos up to 4k (3840x2160) in resolution from mobile and desktop devices.
Upload Audio & Video Files
Users can upload existing, pre-recorded audio and video files through our recording widget.
Record From Desktop Devices
Record audio from the microphone, video from the webcam, and the screen on all major desktop browsers.
Recover Lost Connections
If the streaming connection from our recorder to our media server fails during recording,we'll attempt to reconnect 30 times behind the scenes while the user is recording.
Background blurring Beta
Comply with privacy laws and ensure the user's privacy by enabling the background blurring option.
Design Integration
The Pipe recording client can be integrated in terms of functionality, size, colors, and design.
Picture in Picture
We've implemented a picture-in-picture mode for video playback to solve Firefox's camera privacy dialog's lack of persistence.
Accessibility
We recently made our desktop HTML5 recorder fully controllable using just a keyboard. You can easily TAB to complete a recording.
Navigates Several Browser Bugs, Inconsistencies
Because we process millions of recordings per year from various browsers and devices we see every browser bug, browser inconsistencies or connection problem at scale. Our recording client has many workarounds and protections built in to help tackle:
- high latency or low bandwidth connections (connection retry, lost connections are re-established, US1 & US2 fallback mechanism, recording recovery mechanism);
- browser changes or inconsistencies(available device list, HTML Media Capture behaviour on Android 14 and 15, iOS 18 mp4 recordings were out of sync after processing);
- outright browser bugs (huge chunks);
- user issues or behavior (removing granted permissions, low volume, computer goes to sleep during recording);
- browser/platform capabilities (older Android devices will record using an older video codec).
