The Video Posts Webcam Recorder allows the WordPress administrators and authors to record and insert videos in their posts.

== Description ==

= NEW: HTML5 Web Recorder = 
* Can be accessed from backend or deployed with a shortcode to record video / audio.
* Recordings can be sent to server (configurable uploads folder) or saved locally by user for later upload.
* Integrates with Media Library to make recordings available to insert in posts.
* Integrates VideoShareVOD to automatically publish the video recordings as custom video posts on frontend.
* 100% HTML5 browser based: Does not require a live streaming server or Flash.

How to Use HTML5 Recorder
Allow access to webcam and microphone when prompted by browser, to enable recording. Select Video/Audio mode (preconfigurable from settings), use Start/Stop buttons to record. Then you can playback preview, download recording or sent to server, or discard and retry. 
Recorder can save video/audio recordings in format supported by browsers (mp4/mp3 in Safari, webm in most other HTML5 browsers). Videos can be converted with Video Share VOD if integration is enabled. Access this page again (reload) to restart web recording application.

Old Flash based recorder and legacy settings are still available.

Video Posts: The Video Posts Webcam Recorder allows the WordPress administrators and authors to record and insert videos in their posts by adding an insert recording button to WYSIWYG editor.
Recording can be done with the insert tool when editing posts or with the "videowhisper_recorder" shortcode that displays the interface to record video (uses permissions from VideoShareVOD if enabled).

Video Site: Plugin integrates with the [Video Share VOD](http://wordpress.org/plugins/video-share-vod/  "Video Share / Video On Demand") WordPress plugin for advanced video management, multiple customizable conversions, multiple players, delivery methods and settings (recommended). 
VideoShareVOD includes a HTML5 video uploader for recording from iOS/Android devices.
Can also be used to sell videos, in combination with [Paid Membership and Content](https://wordpress.org/plugins/paid-membership/  "Paid Membership and Content Subscriptions by Tokens/Credits").
Stand alone VSV videos can be recorded with [videowhisper_recorder category="category-name"] shortcode.

= Live Reaction Webcam Recorder =
Plugin supports recording during external video playback. 
Supports Youtube / Vimeo video synchronised reaction recordings (start recording at same time with a video and record during playback:   
[videowhisper_recorder youtube_sync="video-id" category="category-name"]
[videowhisper_recorder vimeo_sync="video-id" category="category-name"]

= Special Requirements =
