Local storage and recovery
Find committed files and interpret interrupted-session metadata.
On this page
The chosen directory receives a unique session subfolder. Each segment has a timestamp and sequence number. IndexedDB holds lightweight session and segment metadata only; it does not store a duplicate video or preserve screen-capture permission.
How to use it
- Choose a folder you can locate later and verify free disk space.
- After Stop & save, wait for Completed. Find files in the displayed subfolder and open them with a compatible player.
- After a crash or reopening, review Local sessions. Treat anything not marked committed as potentially incomplete. Start a new recording with fresh authorization.
Limits and safety
File System Access implementations may use temporary files and commit them on close. A crash or power loss can prevent the active file from appearing or leave unusable content. Clearing browser storage removes the metadata list, not your saved files. Recovery does not repair media, locate moved files, or resume capture silently.
