Learn Studio Suite in 5 minutes

Studio Suite records you and your slides together, right in your browser. Your video is saved on your own device — nothing is ever uploaded to a server.

1 Quick start — record your first video

1

Turn on your camera

Click Turn on camera in the Camera panel. Your browser will ask for camera and microphone permission — click Allow. Speak and watch the small green mic meter next to "Camera" pulse: that confirms your microphone is working.

2

Add your slides

In the Slides panel, choose a source: Upload a file (images on any plan, PDFs on Pro — each PDF page becomes its own slide), Google Drive to pick files from your Drive, or Live browser tab (Pro) to present a live website or app. After each slide loads, an empty + slide is added so you can keep building your deck.

3

Choose your layout

Split screen shows you and your slide side by side — drag the divider between the panels to give yourself or the slide more room. Camera overlay puts your slide full-frame with your camera floating in a corner. Camera only and Slides only do what they say. You can switch layouts even while recording.

4

Record

Click Start recording. After a 3-2-1 countdown, recording begins. Move between slides with the ← → arrow keys or by clicking thumbnails. Use Pause for a break, and Stop recording when done.

💡 For the smoothest recording — keep Studio Suite visible. When presenting a Live browser tab or sharing a screen, keep this Studio window open in a side-by-side view rather than switching away from it. Browsers reduce the drawing rate of hidden tabs, which can cause the recording to look choppy. Two monitors works perfectly: Studio on one, your content on the other.
5

Download your video

Your recording appears in the Recordings section at the bottom. Preview it, click ⬇ to save the video file to your computer, ▶ to open YouTube's upload page, or ✕ to delete it. Recordings stay in your browser until you delete them — but always download the ones you want to keep.

💡 Pro tip — best setup for screen sharing

🖥️

Keep Studio Suite visible while you record

Studio Suite draws your recording frame-by-frame inside the browser. When you navigate away from the Studio tab — to scroll through the site you're presenting, for example — the browser slows down or pauses that drawing process to save resources. The result is choppy or frozen video in your recording.

  • Best setup (two monitors): put Studio Suite on one monitor and your presentation content on the other. Both windows stay fully visible the whole time.
  • One monitor: use your browser's snap/split feature to put Studio Suite and your content window side by side at 50/50. On Windows: drag each window to the left or right edge. On Mac: hold the green full-screen button and choose a side.
  • Image or PDF slides: no setup needed — everything is already inside Studio Suite and this limitation doesn't apply. It only affects Live browser tab and screen-sharing sources.
  • Scrolling through a shared site: scroll slowly and steadily. Fast scrolling forces the browser to re-render the page quickly, which can temporarily reduce the frame rate even in side-by-side mode.

? Frequently asked questions

Is my video uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything — your camera feed, slides, and finished recording — stays on your own device. The recording is composed and saved entirely inside your browser. That's the core promise of Studio Suite.
What's free and what's in Pro?
Free: image slides, all four layouts, recordings up to 10 minutes in 720p with a small watermark.
Pro ($19.99/year or $59.99 once): Full HD 1080p, no watermark, unlimited recording length, PDF import (each page becomes a slide), and live browser-tab slides. One license works on up to 5 devices.
How do I activate my Pro license?
After purchase, your license key arrives by email. In the Studio, click Plan in the top-right corner, paste the key into the license box, and press Activate. To move to a new device, open the same menu and choose Remove license from this device first — that frees up an activation.
What video format do I get?
MP4 in modern Chrome and Edge. Some browsers (like Firefox) can only record WebM — the app tells you which it saved. Both formats upload fine to YouTube. For the most reliable MP4 results, use Chrome on a desktop.
My camera won't turn on — what do I check?
First, make sure you allowed camera and microphone when the browser asked — if you clicked Block, click the camera icon in the address bar to re-allow, then refresh. Second, close other apps that might be using the camera (Zoom, Teams). Third, make sure you're on https://studio.gobaz.org — browsers disable cameras on non-secure pages.
Why is my video mirrored (or not mirrored)?
By default the camera is mirrored, like a mirror — so when you point toward your slide on screen, your gesture points the right way in the recording too. If you need text on camera to be readable (holding up a book, wearing a shirt with writing), click Mirror: On next to the camera controls to turn it off.
How do I present my PowerPoint or Google Slides?
Two ways. Any plan: export your deck as images (PowerPoint: File → Export → PNG; Google Slides: File → Download → PNG per slide) and upload them. Pro: export as a single PDF and import it — every page becomes a slide in one click. Pro users can also use a Live browser tab to present Google Slides in present mode directly.
Where are my recordings stored? Will they disappear?
They're stored inside your browser on your device, and they survive refreshes and restarts. However, clearing your browser data will delete them, and they exist only in the browser where you recorded. Treat the in-app library as a temporary shelf: download anything you want to keep permanently.
My recording looks choppy or frozen when I share a live tab — why?
This happens when the Studio Suite tab is hidden or minimised while you're presenting. Browsers reduce the drawing rate of background tabs to save CPU — which slows the canvas that captures your recording. The fix is simple: keep Studio Suite visible in a side-by-side window or on a second monitor while you record. See the "Pro tip" section above for step-by-step setup instructions.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes — camera recording, image slides, and all layouts work on mobile browsers. The one exception is Live browser tab sharing, which phone browsers don't support; that option simply doesn't appear on mobile.
How do I put my video on YouTube?
Download your recording first (⬇ button), then click the ▶ button on the clip — it opens YouTube's upload page in a new tab. Drag your downloaded file in, and YouTube does the rest. Your video goes from your device directly to your own YouTube account.
How do refunds and support work?
Reply to your purchase receipt email and it comes straight to us — include your license key if your question is about activation. We're a small operation and read everything.
