What Playcocola is

Playcocola connects game developers with playtesters who record their sessions and give feedback, with a particular focus on indie developers. Its browser-based app lets testers record without installing anything or registering to record. They can choose to capture the full screen, one app or a browser tab, add microphone commentary, make notes linked to moments in the video and leave feedback at the end. Videos upload automatically during recording. Developers can upload builds, attach them to sessions and require testers to accept customizable checkboxes before the download appears. Sessions can be made public so members of the Playcocola community can join. The service describes setup as requiring no integration. Hobbyist is free and includes one hour of recording, text feedback, invitations to personal testers and one-week video storage. Indie costs 2.00 EUR per 20 minutes; Premium costs 7.00 EUR per 20 minutes and adds tester recruitment. The terms require users to be at least 18; the service may not always be available, and stored data may be lost.
