A pause/resume functionality for screen recordings in Descript that allows breaks without stopping the capture session.
Built for Content creators and tutorial makers using Descript who need to pause for sensitive data entry or interruptions during recording..
The receipts — real demand
“Andre Villeneuveand 19 more... ... is there really no way to pause a screen recording? that's such a basic feature! In Loom we can pause while we enter a credit card, or to take a sip of water, or to take phone call. So we're using Loom to record and then importing into Descript for editing and transcription.”
