Screen and camera recording · Autessa Video Creator
Timer, limits and auto-stop
Autessa Video Creator shows a live REC timer against a 5-minute maximum and stops recording on its own when you reach the limit or stop sharing your screen. Each recording stays a short, watchable message.
The problem
Long recordings do not get watched
Quick videos work because they are quick. A visible clock keeps the speaker focused, and a hard limit means no one receives a 40-minute recording that was meant to be a two-minute answer.
What you get
- A pulsing REC badge shows elapsed time and the maximum, for example 01:42 / 05:00.
- At 5 minutes the recording stops automatically and the Review step opens.
- If you click Stop sharing in the browser, the recording stops cleanly instead of capturing a blank screen.
- Stopping always keeps what you recorded so far; nothing is lost.

How long can a recording be?
