Podcapture
What it is
Podcapture records remote podcast interviews in a browser while each participant captures microphone audio and camera video locally. Every participant receives a separate recording file, allowing independent editing and transcription. Guests join through an invite link in Chrome without an account, download, or installation. During recording, files remain on each participant’s device; afterward, the host delivers them to a shared cloud folder. Google Drive and Dropbox are named options, and folders from other cloud services can also be used. Podcapture says recordings do not pass through its servers and episodes are not stored there. Local storage saves progress every few seconds, so reopening a tab can restore a take after a crash or accidental close. Tracks are WebM files with VP9 video and Opus audio. The free plan covers up to 60 minutes and two guests; Pro episode costs $9 once per episode.
