Community Feed Recordings: Optional BuddyPress and BuddyBoss integration lets members capture video, audio, screen recordings and photos, add an optional caption, and publish a dedicated activity update. Note: Recordings are saved in formats supported by the user’s browser (e.g., MP4, WebM). Please be aware that some formats may not be compatible with all browsers. The recorder uses current browser media APIs for video, audio, screen and still-image capture. Transform your WordPress site by enabling rich, multimedia user interactions with this intuitive and versatile recording plugin. The existing HTML5 Videochat / Cam Recorder integration remains available for established workflows. Sample integration: Paid Questions / Messages forms can include recordings in PaidVideochat – Video Services Site plugin. Use [videowhisper_recorder_inline field="recordings" add_field="1"] for the selected app in WordPress comments, paid-question/message or other custom forms. The bundled browser adapter sends accepted media to a local WordPress REST endpoint, then dispatches a videowhisper-recorder:saved browser event for custom integrations. Enable the optional community-feed integration from Settings > Form Media > Integrations when BuddyPress or BuddyBoss is active; it publishes media with an optional caption as a dedicated activity update. Settings adapt to the selected recorder application. With the browser recorder selected, Settings > Integrations can show enabled Video, Audio, Screen Capture, Photo and Screenshot controls on comments/forms. Use mode="audio", mode="screen", mode="photo" or mode="screenshot" for one enabled type, modes="video,audio" for a subset, and direct_preview="1" to skip the introductory Continue screen. The browser recorder adapts its camera presentation to landscape or portrait use, supports available camera and microphone switching, and provides a review step before upload. Support Display the selected recorder with [videowhisper_recorder_inline field="recordings" add_field="1" label=""]. Accepted browser captures create a WordPress attachment and dispatch the videowhisper-recorder:saved event for custom form handling. When field is supplied, the integration also maintains the field value for the submitted recording references. Existing HTML5 Videochat / Cam Recorder integrations remain supported.
