![]() Closing Safari app or the Safari tabĬlosing the Safari tab or closing Safari altogether will count as a disconnect. In the Safari 14 and 15 tab switching interface, the recording process continues normally and captures audio and video. While in the iOS/iPadOS 14 and 15 app switching interface, the recording process captures both audio and video. After switching back to the Safari browser, the video part does not seem to resume capture. Some players show a black image while others show the last frame. There is no video captured while in another app, which manifests differently during playback depending on the player. If you switch applications during recording, the recorder will continue to record, capturing just the audio. Rotating the device during a recording has no effect. The videos will inherit the device's orientation (landscape or portrait) when you start the recording. Here is what we found: Rotating the device We’ve run tests against different scenarios that could happen on a mobile device while recording. Codecsįrom Safari on iOS and iPadOS, we’re receiving H.264 video and 1 channel AAC audio 48000 Hz in. The user can switch to the Back Camera by clicking the flip icon in the top right corner. The Front Camera (selfie cam) will be accessed by default by the Pipe desktop recording client. That means, on the iPhone 12 and 13, you'll get videos at the 0.5x level when recording using the Back Camera. On these devices, the widest camera will be used. There's no way to specifically select the back telephoto or back wide camera on the newer iPhone devices. Through the getUserMedia() API we use to capture video in the Safari browser, we only have access to the Front Camera or Back Camera. For example, a 2018 iPhone XS' front camera will not support 4k (3840x2160 landscape or portrait) when using the front camera. ![]() Support also differs between front and back cameras. Older iOS and iPadOS devices might not support all resolutions. IOS and iPadOS have wide resolution support. This is an OS-level enforcement and can't be changed. You'll get portrait video when the user holds the phone in portrait mode and landscape video otherwise. Video orientation, resolution, cameras and zoom level Orientation Every time you enter a recording session, permission to access the user's camera and microphone will be asked when pressing the button. The user option in the dialog above is not persistent. The permissions dialogue (middle) is unavoidable. ![]() ![]() When the user tries to capture video using the Pipe desktop inline recorder he will be asked to Allow or Cancel camera and microphone access: The Pipe desktop recording client running inline in Safari on iOS. You can switch to the new desktop recorder on Safari individually on each environment from your environment's settings or when creating a new environment. Safari on iOS/iPadOS took much longer because the required MediaStream Recording API was only turned on by default recently.Ĭompared to the existing native recorder, the new recorder functions inline in the web page, streams the data instead of uploading/POSTing it, does not have a 10 minute recording limit, has control over the video resolution and can enforce a max recording time. Almost 3 years ago, we introduced the same capability on Chrome on Android. ![]() The move is part of our effort to provide desktop-like inline recorders on mobile devices. Pipe’s HTML5 desktop recorder can now be used inline on Safari on iOS/iPadOS 14.3+. ![]()
