Changelog

New features, improvements, and fixes across the Cap desktop app, web, mobile, and browser extension.

Extension1.0.3

Recording Rail and Camera Controls

  • Compact recording rail - A draggable rail sits on the page while you record, with hover actions for pause, restart, and delete.
  • Camera resize - Resize the camera bubble directly on the page, and dismiss panels without interrupting the recording.
  • More reliable starts - Recording start and preview handling are more stable, and display capture retries automatically when the browser is slow to hand over the stream.
Extension1.0.2

Record From the Cap Dashboard

The extension now connects to cap.so, so you can start browser recordings directly from the Cap dashboard with the extension handling capture.

Extension1.0.1

Smarter Camera and Mic Permissions

  • Accurate permission status - Camera and microphone status now reflects what Chrome has actually granted, so if access is reset you are asked again instead of seeing an empty device list.
  • Faster device checks - Permission state is remembered between sessions, so the recorder panel shows your camera and mic status right away when it opens.
  • Standalone panel fallback - On pages where the recorder panel cannot open, Cap now opens in its own small window so you can still start a recording.
Extension1.0.0

Introducing Cap for Chrome

Cap is now available as a Chrome extension. Record your screen, a window, the current tab, or camera-only video without leaving the browser, and your recording uploads while you record so a share link is ready the moment you stop.

Show release notes
  • Tab, screen, window, and camera recording - Capture the current browser tab, your full screen, a single window, or record camera-only video for quick updates.
  • Instant share links - Recordings upload to your Cap library as you record, so the link is live the second you stop.
  • Camera bubble - Keep a webcam overlay on the page while you record for walkthroughs and demos.
  • Microphone and camera pickers - Choose your devices from the on-page recorder panel, with system audio where Chrome supports it.
  • Countdown before recording - A short pre-roll countdown runs before capture starts, and you can cancel at any point during it.
  • Microphone check - Cap warns you before recording starts if your selected microphone is not picking up any sound.
  • Draw on the page - Turn on drawing mode from the recording bar to annotate the page while you record.
  • Quick dashboard access - Jump straight to your Cap library from the recorder panel.
