The recording stays on this device. We never upload it.
No time limit. The recording is saved on this device as it goes, so a long one needs free storage space; its size shows while you record. On a phone, keep recordings short, as the browser may close a tab that uses a lot of memory.

Questions
Is my recording uploaded?
No. Your files are processed on your device. We never upload them. The camera's picture and sound are recorded by your browser and stay on your device.
Is it MP4 or WebM?
Chrome, Edge, and Safari record MP4, which plays everywhere. Firefox records WebM; select Convert to MP4 afterwards if an app you use can't open it.
How long can I record?
There's no time limit. The recording is saved on your device as it goes, so a long one needs free storage space. Its size shows while you record. On a phone, keep recordings short, as the browser may close a tab that uses a lot of memory.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes, in the phone's browser. On a phone you can choose the front or back camera once the camera is on.
Why is the preview mirrored?
The preview of a front camera is shown like a mirror, as most video apps do, so moving feels natural. The recording itself isn't mirrored.
The browser says the camera is blocked. What now?
Allow the camera for this site in the address bar or the browser's site settings, then select Turn on the camera again. If another app is using the camera, close it first.
