New features 🚀

Switch to full-screen camera while recording

You can now switch from camera + screen to full-screen camera mid-recording in the desktop app. This is great for moments when you want to step into frame fully — like a personal intro, an explanation, or a wrap-up — without stopping and starting a new recording.

Enhancements ✨

Comment visibility and interaction controls

Admins can now control who can view, post, and react to comments — both globally and per recording. New toggles in your settings let you hide the comments tab or restrict commenting and reacting, giving you full control over engagement on each recording.

Improved login experience on the public watch page

Logged-in viewers now see a profile avatar with a dropdown showing their name, email, and profile picture. A "Logged in successfully" toaster confirms login, and the "Use NeetoRecord for Free" CTA is automatically hidden for workspace users who are already on NeetoRecord.

More RESTful public API

Several public API endpoints have been improved. Tags are now returned as proper objects with id, name, and style fields instead of plain strings, and responses include previously missing fields like default_title. This makes it easier to build richer integrations on top of the NeetoRecord API.

Recording downloads use the recording title

When you download a recording, the file is now saved with the recording's title instead of a generic ID, making it easier to find and organize downloaded videos.

Repeat edits always work on top of the original

When you edit a video that's already been edited, the new edit now applies on top of the original recording rather than the previously edited version. This avoids quality loss and keeps every edit as clean as the first one.

Cmd + Enter submits a comment

You can now submit comments easily using the keyboard by using Cmd + Enter

'Hide toolbar' tooltip and keyboard shortcut links in Chrome extension

The Hide toolbar messaging in the Chrome extension now uses clearer copy and links to the keyboard shortcut settings, so it's easier to discover and customize.

New features 🚀

This is useful for building automations, syncing recordings with other tools, or triggering workflows in your own systems.

MCP Server support

NeetoRecord now includes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, allowing AI agents like Claude and Cursor to interact with your recordings programmatically. Using an API key, agents can search recordings, read transcripts, manage folders and tags, generate transcripts and chapters, get analytics, create CTAs, and more.

Enhancements ✨

Improved download experience

When you click "Download Video," the dropdown closes immediately and a progress toaster appears at the bottom of the screen. Once complete, it updates to "Download Complete." You can cancel an active download at any time using the close button on the toaster. If you navigate away during a download, a confirmation dialog warns you that the download will be interrupted.

Revamped share recordings pane

The share experience has been completely rebuilt. You can now share a recording starting at a specific timestamp, share it muted, or set it to autoplay — all from checkboxes in the share pane. The pane also opens directly from the recording card's three-dot menu. QR code and social media sharing options are available right from the pane as well.

New features 🚀

Request recording

You can now request video recordings from customers or teammates directly from NeetoRecord. Send a recording request, and the recipient can record and submit their video through a simple interface. You'll also receive an email notification when someone submits their recording. This is useful for collecting customer feedback, video testimonials, or async updates from your team.

Tags for recordings

You can now add tags to your recordings for better organization. Tags make it easy to categorize and filter recordings, especially as your library grows. Whether you're organizing by project, team, or topic, tags help you find what you need faster.

Enhancements ✨

More compact control bar

Fixed an issue where users were unable to paste text into speaker notes in the desktop app. You can now paste content as expected, making it easier to prepare your talking points before recording.

Control bar displays correctly at all zoom levels

Resolved a bug where the control bar appeared zoomed in on certain displays, causing parts of the interface to be cut off. The control bar now renders at the correct scale regardless of system display settings.

Desktop app bug fixes

• External camera feeds that previously appeared distorted now display correctly.
