Frequently asked
questions (FAQs)

A browser-based recorder runs directly in a supported browser, such as Google Chrome, so you don’t need to download or install heavy software. On Windows, this allows you to quickly capture your screen, audio, and webcam together for a video. With Cinema8, recordings are saved directly to your library, where you can edit, improve, and securely share the content without slowing down your computer.
Cinema8’s screen recorder is designed specifically for tutorials, walkthroughs, and demos, allowing you to record the content right from your Windows device. You can capture step-by-step instructions, add annotations and AI subtitles for clarity, and even introduce interactive elements like quizzes or hotspots to keep viewers engaged. This makes it easy to build reusable knowledge resources for teams, customers, or students.
Recordings can be shared securely through private links or restricted access settings in your Cinema8 library. This is especially useful for sensitive material such as internal training or personal content. For example, if you’re recording videos that are intended only for family or a close group, Cinema8 supports private video hosting for family videos, ensuring only the right audience can view them.
No installation is required to use Cinema8’s screen recording tools as they run entirely in your browser, which means you can start recording on Windows immediately. This removes the complexity of downloading large applications or managing updates. Instead, you have instant access to lightweight, reliable tools for recording your screen, webcam, and audio, all with the flexibility to edit, store, and share directly within Cinema8’s platform.
Cinema8 makes it easy to keep your screen recordings up to date. If a process changes or a tutorial needs an adjustment, you don’t have to re-record everything from scratch. Instead, you can edit, trim, or replace sections of the video directly in your library. This ensures your Windows recordings remain accurate and relevant without the time and effort of starting over.
