## Description

Empower your website with the Webcam Microphone Screen Recorder HTML5 plugin, a 
versatile tool for creating and sharing media directly within posts. This plugin
lets authors and administrators easily record video or audio using a webcam, microphone,
or screen capture. Perfect for tutorials, testimonials, or video blogs, it integrates
seamlessly into the WordPress Media Library and supports various formats for immediate
playback or further processing with Video Share VOD integration.

#### Benefits

 * Versatile Recording Options: Record from webcam, microphone, or capture your 
   screen directly through the browser.
 * Seamless WordPress Integration: Automatically adds recordings to the Media Library
   for easy use in posts and pages.
 * HTML5 Technology: No need for additional software or plugins, works natively 
   in all modern browsers.
 * Video Post Integration: Integrates with the Video Share VOD plugin to enable 
   publishing of videos as custom video posts.
 * User-Friendly Interface: Simple controls for recording, playback, and uploading
   make it accessible to all user levels.
 * Monetization Capability: Compatible with MicroPayments/FansPaysite plugin for
   adding and monetizing video assets.

#### HTML5 Web Recorder

 * Can be accessed from backend or deployed with a shortcode to record video / audio.
 * Can record Webcam + Microphone Video, Screen + Microphone Video, Microphone Audio
 * Recordings can be sent to server (configurable uploads folder) or saved locally
   by user for later upload.
 * Integrates with Media Library to make recordings available to insert in posts.
 * Integrates [Video Share VOD](https://wordpress.org/plugins/video-share-vod/) 
   plugin to automatically publish the video recordings as custom video posts on
   frontend.
 * Integrates with [MicroPayments – Paid Membership, Content, Subscriptions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/paid-membership/)
   to record content.
 * 100% HTML5 browser based: Does not require a live streaming server or Flash. 
   Based on [VideoWhisper HTML5 Webcam/Microphone Recorder](https://demo.videowhisper.com/cam-recorder-html5-video-audio/)

#### How to Use HTML5 Recorder

Allow access to webcam and microphone when prompted by browser, to enable recording.
Select Video/Audio mode (configurable from settings), use Start/Stop buttons to 
record. Then you can playback preview, download recording or sent to server, or 
discard and retry.
 Recorder can save video/audio recordings in format supported
by browsers (mp4/mp3 in Safari, webm in most other HTML5 browsers). Videos can be
converted with Video Share VOD if integration is enabled. Access this page again(
reload) to restart web recording application.

#### Recommended Hosting

Although recording does not involve special hosting requirements (except ability
to upload the HTML5 recorded files), processing the videos server side with VideoShareVOD
or similar plugins requires FFmpeg.

I installed it yesterday, and it worked great. Today all of a sudden it doesn’t 
work on any of the sites where I installed it. I keep getting an error that I should
use Safari. Nope. It was great while it lasted I guess.
