You can now record audio using the Record option in the upload panel and add it to your project. This makes it easier to capture meetings, interviews, or quick voice notes and bring them into Storytell without recording elsewhere first.

Get started at: Record and upload audio directly to Storytell

What’s new

Record from the Upload Panel: Use the Record option to capture audio using your device’s microphone and save it to your project.

Microphone Permission via Browser: Storytell uses your browser to access your device’s microphone. If you haven’t already, your browser will prompt you to allow microphone access.

Manual Upload After Recording: After you finish recording, you’ll need to confirm and upload the recording for it to be added as an asset.

Why this matters

Recording and uploading audio is now a single, streamlined flow. You can capture audio in the moment and intentionally upload it to Storytell when you’re ready.

What to know

• Your browser must be allowed to access your device’s microphone

• Recordings are not uploaded automatically—you’ll need to click upload after finishing the recording

• While recording, avoid navigating around Storytell to prevent interruptions

• If you exit a recording accidentally, you can recover it by reopening the Upload panel and selecting Record audio

Who benefits

• Users capturing meetings, interviews, or voice notes

• Teams working asynchronously with recorded context

• Anyone who wants a simpler way to get audio into Storytell
