The last months we’ve been quiet working hard to build the missing pieces required for launching Cubicast as a fully fledged product, including subscription plans, payments and scalable infrastructure. On top of the above, we are pleased to announce the following product updates: Continuous Recording We have repurposed the Cubicast widget to act as a silent continuous recorder, running in headless mode. Your customers will be able to submit support requests once we have our first integration with a 3rd party customer support system in place.

We are proud to announce that the Cubicast recorder now supports Web Components and Shadow DOM. This new feature establishes Cubicast as the first of its kind to support the above technologies. Using our unique DOM flattening technology, the recordings can be replayed to all popular browsers, whether they support Web Components / Shadow DOM natively or not. Here is a recording of the Polymer Shop demo app:

EDIT: This is post is partly outdated. As of today, the Cubicast widget just records the current session. Submitting support requests will be feasible once we have in place the first integration with a 3rd party support system. Cubicast, will never evolve to a customer support system, but instead it will complement such systems. Having said this, the way to embed the Cubicast recorder in your web app or site remains the same, as described below.

We are excited to announce two new features: Whole page recording Recording canvas elements Whole Page Recording What lies below the fold of a webpage? One has to scroll down to find out. But what if you want to record before even scrolling? Get a quick snapshot of everything a user can see, not only what he actually sees? Enter the page recording option. You can now select between recording just the viewport or the whole page.

Ever felt frustrated at the speed things happen in a screen recording? We too. It’s natural. When a user is capturing his screen, he rarely does it on a timed scenario. There are gaps, pauses, inactivity and delays. That’s the way we all interact with our browsers. Despite this being the natural way, it doesn’t doesn’t prohibit viewers from being bored. So we have added some sugar to the player to speed this up:

Today we published the core functionality that allows teams to collaborate within Cubicast. This is the first major step to making Cubicast an enterprise service. How do teams work? Every Cubicast user can create various workspaces to organise his work. A workspace is a collection of recordings. Teams are defined around workspaces so that the workspace owner give access to collaborators to his recordings and allow them to add new ones.
