Tips, tutorials, and insights on screen recording, video creation, and more from searchferret.
You can now file recordings into folders. One shared tree for the whole team, drag and drop to move things around, and bulk actions for the big tidy-up.
The caption editor now does search and replace. See every match before you commit, step through them one at a time, or replace the lot in one go.
A screen recorder you can embed in your own site or web app. One script tag, a small corner widget for your visitors, and recordings that land privately in your library with their name attached.
The same search that powers your searchferret library, now available on your own site. A one-tag embed for visitors, an API for builders, and keys you control. Published videos only.
Magic links used to be a private-recording feature. Now any recording in your library can have one, so you can share a video with someone outside your team without publishing it first.
We reworked the recordings list view. Sections now fetch their own items and show true counts, instead of grouping whatever page happened to be loaded.
A live mic level meter, a proper warning when your mic fails, and a mute button in the recording controls. Small additions, one less silent recording.
The screenshot editor's drawing tools now work in the video recorder. Arrows, boxes, circles, text and the freehand pen... drawn live, while you record.
Every recording used to be visible to your whole team. Now you can mark one private, share it with only the teammates you pick, or hand out a magic link to someone outside the team. Here's how it works, and the one decision we thought hardest about.
A friend told us the per-user cap was the one thing in our pricing that didn't feel right. He was right. So we took it off every team plan. Add your whole team, no seat math.
Library-wide search now finds recordings by the tags your team adds and by who recorded them, not just by what was said. Two more ways to find the video you half-remember.
Search every video, transcript, and screenshot across your organisation. Typo-tolerant, timestamp-aware, and a single ⌘K away. Built for distributed teams whose answers live in last week's recordings.
What actually happens to your recordings after you hit publish. A plain walk-through of the transcoding, hosted player, captions, analytics, and UTM tracking we run through xform media.
Timezone friction, meeting overload, and vanishing context are the real costs of running a distributed team. Async video, the searchable kind, is the habit that plugs the biggest leak.
What's new in searchferret's screenshot tool: a freehand pen, circles, an eyedropper in every color picker, inline text editing, keyboard shortcuts, undo/redo, and a pile of small polish.
How we think about searchferret's pricing. Generosity at the front door, an honest ladder as you grow, no seat-count games.
