Zencastr runs entirely in the browser: you create a session, choose audio only or audio+video, then invite guests via a link so they can join without installing software or creating accounts. During recording, each participant is captured locally on their own machine and progressively uploaded to the cloud, protecting quality from internet dropouts and giving you clean, high‑resolution files.
