Always ready to record

Most content comes in via uploads: a Teams meeting recording, a Zoom call, a video someone already captured. Everything ExplainItOnce does works on all of them.

But when someone wants to record something new, that's where the friction usually starts. What tool do I use? Do I have a license? They end up with the Snipping Tool, or a free recorder that captures at low resolution, or they accidentally record their entire screen including the messy desktop. If they're not careful with settings, the recording is unusable. And most people are not careful with settings, because they're focused on explaining, not on configuring a screen recorder.

ExplainItOnce includes a built-in screen recorder as a Chrome extension. It's always there when someone wants to explain something. Everyone in the organization has access. No license to manage, no tool to install.

One button to start. No resolution settings, no framerate choices, no file format decisions. Best quality, automatically. The recorder enlarges your cursor so viewers can follow it, smooths your mouse movement so the jittery clicking-while-talking problem goes away, and automatically records only the content area instead of the full screen.

The visual cleanup, the clean background, the clean browser frame: those happen to every recording, whether it comes from the built-in recorder or from an upload. That's not a screen recorder feature. That's what ExplainItOnce does.

What the recorder deliberately does not do: auto-zoom. Auto-zoom sounds good in a feature list, but in practice, 90% of the zooms need to be removed manually. That puts the expert back in an editing tool, which defeats the point.
