Practical answers about cost, duration, file size and recovery.

OKYA Record is a free browser-native recorder with no account requirement. Availability of its recording features depends on the browser APIs, not on a paid plan. Unsupported environments are blocked rather than given an unbounded-memory fallback.
How to use it
- Can I guarantee 24 hours? No. Extended recording is an architectural target; power, browser scheduling, disk and OS restrictions still matter.
- Why are there several files? Each segment is finalized separately. This limits exposure to a failed active file but adds short transition gaps.
- Can I recover after closing? You can inspect committed files and local metadata, but you must authorize a new capture. Uncommitted bytes may be unrecoverable.
Limits and safety
At 4 Mbps video plus 128 kbps audio, one hour is roughly 1.86 GB before variable-rate effects and overhead. Stop & save is required to commit the last segment. If sound is missing, inspect actual tracks and test a supported source rather than assuming all system audio is available.
