Recording is available on all plans. To create a new recording, click add from your Content Library, or a folder, hover over "Record" and select "Record solo."

From here, you'll jump to the pre-recording settings page, where you can adjust your video and audio settings, and see a preview of yourself on camera (if you choose to record with your camera). You’ll also have the option to add a teleprompter script to keep you on track while recording.

If you add a teleprompter script, you can type your text manually, copy and paste it, or upload a .txt file.

If you’ve got a general idea of what you want to say but aren’t sure how to say it, you can use our script generator to write it with AI. Click the lightning bolt, choose your tone, and give a brief description of a script you'd like to generate. When you're all set, click "Generate."

When you click “Generate,” we’ll use your selections to write a script for your video. You can edit this script, delete it, or click “Regenerate” to go back to the drawing board. With the teleprompter, you can also adjust the scroll speed, text size, and transparency of the window.

When you've adjusted your recording settings and script and you're ready to go, click "Record" for your three-second countdown. When you're recording, click the play button for the teleprompter when you're ready.

Once recording, you can pause it anytime, adjust your clip settings, remove and add the teleprompter, and change your record settings with the gear icon.

Pause your recording any time by clicking the pause icon on the toolbar. Each time you pause your recording, your progress is saved as a new clip.

You can review, rename, and delete clips while your recording is paused by opening the clip manager. If you’re recording your camera and screen, you can also toggle between camera-only, screen-only, and combined layouts for your clips. You can also make these changes when editing your recording.

When you're ready to resume and record your next clip, click the red recording icon and you'll have a three-second countdown. You can also remove, upload, edit, or generate a new script for the teleprompter at any time.

Change your camera, microphone, or select a different screen to record by opening the settings menu while your recording is paused.

When you’re finished, click the "End" button to upload your recording to Wistia.

You'll be asked to confirm you'd like to end the recording, and whether or not you'd like to delete or save it.

When you save your recording, you'll prompted to name it, and select the folder you'd like to add it to. You can also create a new folder for it.

Click "Save" and you'll be taken to the recording's media page in your account.

And that’s it! You’ve just recorded a video in Wistia. Edit your recording to make layout changes, add background music and transitions, stitch in other media from your content library, and more.
