Questions and troubleshooting
Why is the recording silent?
Check microphone permission, the operating-system input device and mute settings. Speak while watching the level meter, then play a short test clip. If permission was denied, allow it in the browser site settings and try again.
Will a recording be saved if I close the tab?
No automatic saved copy is provided. Stop and download before leaving; the preview and recording data are held by the current page. Long recordings can exhaust available browser memory.
