What SquadCast is

SquadCast is an in-browser cloud recording studio for creating audio and video content. It records locally and progressively uploads recordings to the cloud, where account holders can access them. The maker says uploads continuously save recordings and that cloud backups are available if a primary file is lost. The FAQ lists audio at 48 kHz and 16-bit depth, and video up to 1080p at 30 fps; the product information also lists maximum video quality of 4K. A session can include a host and up to nine guests, who can join without an account or software download. Supported browsers include current versions of Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Brave, and Edge. Plans include Free, Hobbyist at $16.00 per month, Creator at $35.00 per month, and Business at $50.00 per month. Free includes one recording hour per editor each month, one show, one integration, and exports up to 720p with watermarks. Paid plans provide more recording time and other listed allowances; Creator lists exports up to 4K. Team workspaces, backstage participation, roles, and permissions support collaborative production. Integrations include the SquadCast API, Zapier, Descript, SavvyCal, Captivate, Camo, Dolby.io, Dropbox, and calendar tools. Unused recording hours roll over up to twice the plan’s included monthly hours; extra recording time costs $5 per hour.
