Welcome to Capturly
Capturly captures studio-quality audio and video on each person’s own device, then hands you the original files.
What is Capturly?
Recording happens locally, not over the internet, so a weak connection costs a laggy preview and never the take. That works two ways: record a session yourself with guests who join from a browser, or send a link and collect recordings from people who never install anything or create an account.
Podcasting is what Capturly is best known for. The same capture pipeline collects customer stories, research interviews and async hiring answers.

- Record solo or with guests - Everyone captures locally at full quality
- Collect and edit - Guest tracks upload to you automatically; sync with the beep
Recording Modes
Solo
Record by yourself. On desktop and mobile this works completely offline, so it suits solo episodes, voice-overs, and locations with unreliable internet.
Sessions with remote guests
Record with remote guests over peer-to-peer connections. Each participant records locally at full quality while you see and hear each other in real time. Session size depends on your plan — up to 4 participants on Pro, up to 8 on Team. See Online Mode.
Studios
Team workspaces get a persistent room with a stable, bookmark-able URL and a green room for approving guests — built for recurring shows. See Studios.
Output Files
A desktop recording session produces two files:
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
*_audio.wav | High-quality audio master for editing |
*_video.mp4 | H.264 video with synced AAC audio |
Recording in the browser produces a single .mp4. See File Formats for full specifications.
