Changelog

Transcripts are no longer read-only. Fix names, jargon, and mistakes directly on the share page, and your corrections show for every viewer.

Features

• Edit any line - Click into the transcript to correct the text in place.

Improvements

• Player UX - A round of usability improvements to the share page video player.

Two additions to your library today: lock any Cap behind a password, and upload existing videos straight from the dashboard.

Features

• Password-protected Caps - Set a password on a video and viewers must enter it before watching. Even the title stays hidden without access.
• Upload videos - Bring existing recordings into Cap with the new upload button in your dashboard. Uploaded videos get share pages like any other Cap.

Improvements

• Player polish - Chapters are better integrated into the player, alongside general UI tweaks.

Cap AI writes the boring parts for you. After a recording is transcribed, Cap generates a title, a summary, and chapters automatically. Rolling out gradually.

Features

• Automatic titles - New Caps get a descriptive name instead of a timestamp.
• Summary tab - A concise summary of the recording appears on the share page.
• Chapters - The player is split into chapters so viewers can jump to the part they need.

The dashboard has a new look. Cleaner navigation, a refreshed Caps grid, and better empty states across the app.

Improvements

• New layout - A tidier sidebar and header make it faster to move between your Caps, shared Caps, and settings.
• Refreshed Cap cards - Thumbnails, titles, and actions are easier to scan at a glance.
• Clearer empty states - New pages explain what goes where when you are starting out.

Share Caps from your own domain. Connect a domain in workspace settings and your share links use it instead of cap.so.

Features

• Bring your own domain - Point a domain or subdomain at Cap and share links switch over automatically.
• Guided setup - Workspace settings walk you through the DNS records and verify them for you.
• Everywhere links appear - Cap cards and copied links use your custom domain once it is verified.

The share page now has a proper sidebar. Comments, the transcript, and view analytics live in tabs next to the video instead of below it.

Features

• Activity tab - Comments and replies in one feed beside the player.
• Transcript tab - The full transcript sits alongside the video for quick reading.
• View analytics - Owners can see how many people have watched each Cap.
• Workspace-only viewing - A new workspace setting restricts shared Caps to viewers with your company's email domain.

You can now connect your own S3-compatible storage bucket to Cap. New recordings upload straight to your bucket, and share pages serve them from there, so you keep full ownership of your data.

Features

• Any S3-compatible provider - Works with AWS S3 and S3-compatible services like Cloudflare R2 and MinIO.
• Your storage, your rules - Videos never have to live on Cap's storage, which pairs naturally with Cap being open source.
• Share pages just work - Links, thumbnails, and playback behave exactly the same on a custom bucket.

Cap now works for teams. Create a workspace, invite your teammates, and share Caps with everyone in it.

Features

• Workspaces - Set up a shared workspace for your team from the dashboard.
• Invites - Invite teammates by email, and manage pending invites from workspace settings.
• Shared Caps - Share any Cap with your workspace and it appears in a shared library everyone can browse.
• Per-seat billing - Workspace subscriptions scale with the number of members.

Caps are now transcribed automatically, and the full transcript appears alongside the video on the share page.

Features

• Transcript on the share page - Read along while you watch, or skim the transcript instead of scrubbing.
• Processing status - The share page shows transcription progress and updates as soon as the transcript is ready.

Cap Pro is here. A single subscription that removes the free plan's recording limits and supports Cap's development as an open source project.

Features

• Monthly or annual billing - Choose the plan that suits you on the new pricing page.
• No recording limits - Record and share without the free plan's usage caps.
• Promo codes - Discount codes can be applied at checkout.
• Manage billing in settings - Update your plan and payment details from your dashboard.

You can now record a Cap without installing anything. The new web recorder captures your screen and webcam straight from the browser and gives you a shareable link when you stop.

Features

• Screen and webcam recording - Pick a screen, window, or tab, and optionally add your camera.
• Upload as you record - Recordings upload in segments while you record, so your link is ready quickly after you stop.
• Works alongside the desktop app - Same account, same library, same share pages.

The share page is now a conversation. Viewers can leave comments and react with emojis directly on any Cap.

Features

• Comments - Anyone watching a Cap can leave a comment on the share page.
• Emoji reactions - React to a Cap with a single click while watching.
• Editable titles - Rename a Cap right from its share page.
• Copy link - A one-click button copies the share link to your clipboard.
• Link previews - Shared links now render a preview image in chat apps and social feeds.

Every recording now lands on its own share page. Send one link and anyone can watch in the browser, no account needed.

Features

• Share page player - Caps play on a dedicated page with a seek slider, mute, and fullscreen controls.
• Video thumbnails - Links show a preview image instead of a blank frame.
• Titles and dates - Each Cap displays its name and when it was recorded.
• cap.link short links - Share links are available under the short cap.link domain.
