Recorders
Record Video and Keep a Backup Copy
Keep a safe copy of every recording: save to a chosen folder, then copy the finished file to a second drive or cloud folder.
The short answer
Save the recording to a folder you choose, then copy the finished file to a second drive. Two copies protect you from a failed disk.
How to do it in Streamdzy
- Choose what to record: the whole screen, one window, a browser tab, or a camera. The choice is under Recordings.
- Turn on your microphone if you want your voice. It is saved on its own track.
- Press Record, and use Mark at the moments you want to find again.
- Press Stop. The session folder holds the finished file, each source, and the log of marks.
What to know first
Recordings use your PC’s disk, so check the free space before a long session. For calls and meetings, get everyone’s agreement before you record. Other people’s rules still apply.
Questions
When should I make the backup?
Right after the recording ends, before you start editing.
