Autessa Video Creator · screen recorder
Record your screen.
Send a link.
Autessa Video Creator is a screen and camera recorder with its own public share page. Record your screen with your face in a camera bubble, trim and crop without losing audio, keep it as a private draft, then publish to a clean Video Viewer that anyone with the link can watch, no account needed. It works out of the box, and you shape the viewer, sharing and the workflows around it in Autessa.
One product, two sides
A recorder for your team, a share page for your audience
Video Creator is two apps that work as one. Your team records, edits and shares in Video Creator. Your audience watches on the Video Viewer, a separate public page that only ever plays videos you have published.

How is it different from Autessa Video Studio? Video Creator records you: your screen, your camera and your voice, trimmed and shared through the public viewer. Autessa Video Studio generates a video for you: it turns a script into a vertical short with AI images, an AI voice, music and captions. The full comparison is further down this page.
What makes it different
A screen recorder that owns the whole trip, from REC to the viewer’s screen
The capabilities that go beyond a typical screen recorder.
Non-destructive editing
Trim and crop that can never lose your audio
- No re-encode, no export wait
- Audio stays in sync, always
- The same cut in the app and the public viewer
Private drafts
Recording and sending are two different decisions
- Draft and Published badges everywhere
- Publish copies the link for you
- Warns before you share a link that will not play
Your own public viewer
A clean watch page on your own viewer, not a video platform
- No account needed to watch
- Paste a link or an id to watch
- Friendly pages for links that are not live
Self-setup
It sets up its own share page and its own key
- No addresses or keys to copy
- Rotation without interruption
- One switch to pause all public playback
Crop
Autessa Video Creator crops a recording by dragging a rectangle over the frame, so viewers see only the window or panel that matters.

Bug reports with steps, design reviews, release walkthroughs.
Customer support
Show a customer exactly where to click, with a link they open without an account.

Integrations
Built on your browser and your Autessa workspace
Video Creator uses your browser’s own screen sharing and recording, stores videos in a table in your Autessa workspace, and publishes through the Video Viewer app. Because it is built on Autessa, your team can extend both halves like any other Autessa app.
How it connects →Security
Private by default, public on purpose
Drafts never play publicly. The public viewer can only play published videos, using a read-only key you can rotate or turn off. Only owners can change a video.

| Sharing | Private drafts, share by email, public Video Viewer | Workspace sharing and public watch links |
| Best for | Walkthroughs, bug reports, feedback, quick answers | Explainers, tours, social shorts, announcements |

FAQ
Questions about Autessa Video Creator
What is Autessa Video Creator?
Autessa Video Creator is a screen recorder with a camera bubble and a built-in public video viewer. You record your screen and face in the browser, trim and crop, save a private draft, then publish to get a link anyone can watch on a clean share page.
Does it work out of the box?
Yes. Open Video Creator, pick your screen and camera, and record. Your public Video Viewer and its playback key are set up for you, so your first share link works the same day. From there you shape it in Autessa: your viewer, who videos are shared with, and the apps and workflows around your video library.
Can I record my screen and webcam at the same time?
Yes. Video Creator asks for screen, camera and microphone access, shows a live preview with your face in a round bubble in the bottom-left corner, and records the screen, the bubble and your audio together into one video.
Do people need an Autessa account to watch my video?
No. Once you publish a video, its share link opens on your public Video Viewer, and anyone with the link can watch without signing in. To share privately instead, add teammates by email and they will see it under Shared with me inside Autessa.
Is there anything to download or install?
No. Video Creator runs in a modern desktop browser that supports screen sharing. There is no desktop app or browser extension; you grant screen, camera and microphone access when you set up your sources.
Can I trim and crop without losing the audio?
Yes. Trim and crop are saved as instructions next to the original recording and applied every time the video plays, in the app and in the public viewer. The file is never re-encoded, so its audio always stays intact.
How long can a recording be?
Each recording can run up to 5 minutes. A timer shows elapsed time against the limit, and recording stops on its own at 5 minutes or when you stop sharing your screen. That keeps every video a quick, watchable message.
Are my recordings private until I publish them?
Yes. Every recording saves as a draft that only you, and anyone you share it with by email, can see. The public viewer will only ever play videos you have published; a draft link shows "This video doesn’t exist".
Can I record system audio?
Yes, when your browser offers it. In the share picker, turn on Share audio and Video Creator mixes that sound with your microphone into one track. Your microphone is always recorded.
How do I set up the public Video Viewer?
Usually you do not have to. Video Creator looks for your Video Viewer and links it on its own, and creates the private playback key the viewer needs in the background. If anything still needs your action, a guided setup wizard walks you through it.
How is Video Creator different from Autessa Video Studio?
Video Creator records you: your screen and your camera, trimmed and shared through a public viewer. Autessa Video Studio generates a video for you: it turns a script into a vertical short with AI images, an AI voiceover, music and captions. Use Creator for walkthroughs and messages, Studio for produced shorts.
Who can edit or delete a video?
Only its owner, the person who recorded it. The owner can edit the title and description, publish, share by email and delete. People it is shared with can watch it, and anyone with the public link can watch it once it is published.
100% customizable, code and all
