UpStage v1

Screen Recordings

You may want to make a screen recording of a performance as well as or instead of a Replay recording if you are using audio-visual streams, which are not captured in the Replays, or as an additional form of documentation.

Screen recordings of UpStage performances can be made using any software that is capable of recording your desktop, such as OBS, Quicktime or many other applications specifically for screen recording. You will need to consult the relevant documentation for the software your choose to use, for instructions on how to screen record.

Tips for screen recording:

make sure that you are in audience view (not logged in) and that your browser window is full screen (F11);
check that your screen recording software is capturing the computer audio, and not any external audio;
you may want to make the font size in the chat window slightly larger, so that it is easier to read in the recording;
close all other applications on the computer and if possible use an ethernet cable rather than WiFi, to minimise lag and possible network interruptions.

Permissions

Unless you are part of the player crew or have been specifically asked to make a screen recording of a performance, you should not do so without the permission of the artists. Make sure that any distribution of a recording is done with the necessary permissions and appropriate crediting.

The audience is relatively anonymous in a recording, however it's good practice to inform them via the chat or in some other way that the performance is being recorded.
