Record the slides, your voice and your face in one pass, then caption it so students can follow it on a phone.
Open REQO in Chrome or Edge and press record. Nothing to install, no extension to approve, and no admin rights to ask IT for.
Put the deck into presentation mode and share that window, then turn the camera on so the person delivering the material is in the recording alongside it.
The recording is transcribed as it lands, so captions come from the speech rather than being typed. Correct the terminology the transcript got wrong, trim the setup off the front, and share a link students can open on a phone.
A lecture recording that is only slides loses the person delivering it, and one that is only a webcam loses the material. Recording the presentation window with your camera in the corner keeps both, and it takes one pass rather than an edit afterwards.
There is no time limit, which matters here more than in most uses: a fifty-minute class should not need to be recorded in chunks, and it should not stop at a free-tier cap halfway through the second hour.
Because it runs in the browser, there is nothing for a university IT department to approve and nothing to install on a lectern machine you do not administer.
Recorded teaching material generally has to be captioned, and doing it by hand is why recordings sit unpublished. The recording is transcribed automatically, so captions are generated from the speech and then corrected rather than typed from scratch.
The same transcript is what makes the recording searchable for students revising, and it is how you cut the ten minutes of setup and questions off the front and back without scrubbing a timeline.
Most institutions want the file in Moodle, Canvas or Blackboard rather than behind a link on a personal account, and some will not accept a link at all. Export an MP4 and upload it, with the captions burned in if the platform will not carry a separate track.
If a link is acceptable, it is the lighter option: a 50-minute 1080p lecture is a large file to push into a VLE, and a link avoids every student downloading a copy of it.
No. Recording is free with an account and a recording can run as long as the class does. Free exports carry a small REQO badge; Pro removes it.
Yes. Share the presentation window or tab and turn the camera on, and both are captured in one pass with the camera in the corner.
The recording is transcribed automatically, so captions come from the speech. Correct any terminology the transcript got wrong, then burn them in or keep them as a track.
No. The recorder runs in Chrome or Edge, so there is nothing to download and no extension to approve. That is usually the deciding factor on a work laptop you cannot install software on.
Yes. Every recording gets a share page, which is usually the difference between it being watched and it bouncing off a mailbox attachment limit.
Free, no install, and the recording opens straight in a full editor.
