Changelog

Self-hosting SulusCast is now a single command. A new Docker Compose setup brings up the full web app, database, and storage in one go, with rewritten self-hosting docs to match.

Improvements

• docker compose up - One command starts everything SulusCast needs to run on your own infrastructure.
• Clearer docs - The self-hosting guide has been rewritten with the new setup, including configuration and upgrade notes.

A full analytics dashboard for your recordings. See who is watching, where, and on what, instead of a single view count.

Features

• Views over time - Charts of views across the last 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or the lifetime of a video.
• Audience breakdowns - Split views by country, browser, operating system, and device.
• Compare videos - Drag videos side by side to compare how they perform.
• Real-time tracking - New views appear in the dashboard as they happen.

The web recorder has been rebuilt from the ground up. It is faster, far more reliable, and a genuine option when you cannot install the desktop app or are on a lower-powered machine.

Features

• Screen, window, tab, or camera - Choose exactly what to capture, with device pickers for camera and microphone.
• Movable camera preview - Drag your camera bubble anywhere while you record, with picture-in-picture support.
• Recording controls - A draggable in-progress bar keeps pause, resume, and stop within reach.

Improvements

• Reliable uploads - Recordings upload in parts as you record, with automatic retries and live progress, so your share link is ready moments after you stop.

Signing in with email now uses a one-time code instead of a magic link. Type the code from your inbox and you are in, with no link that opens in the wrong browser or gets eaten by a link scanner.

The dashboard now has a notifications inbox. See when someone views, comments on, replies to, or reacts to your recordings without leaving the app.

Features

• Notification feed - Views, comments, replies, and reactions collected in one place.
• Jump to the moment - Click a notification to open the video with the relevant comment at the top.
• Read states - Notifications are marked as read when you open them.

Your SulusCast library now has folders. Group recordings by project, customer, or topic instead of scrolling one long list.

Features

• Create folders - Organize the recordings page into folders right from the dashboard.
• Move recordings in - Add recordings to a folder and open it to browse them in place.

recordings can now be embedded on any website. Grab the embed code from the share dialog and drop the player into docs, wikis, or your own pages.

Features

• Embed code - The share dialog has a new tab with a ready-to-paste iframe snippet.
• Clean player - Embeds show just the video player, sized to fit wherever you place it.
• Copy or download transcripts - Transcripts on the share page can now be copied to the clipboard or downloaded as a file.

Spaces are shared collections inside your organization. Create a space for a team or project, add the right people, and drop recordings into it for everyone to see.

Features

• Create spaces - Set up as many spaces as you need from the dashboard sidebar.
• Members - Add and remove organization members per space, so each space is visible to exactly the right people.
• Shared libraries - recordings added to a space show up for every member of that space.

Transcripts are no longer read-only. Fix names, jargon, and mistakes directly on the share page, and your corrections show for every viewer.

Features

• Edit any line - Click into the transcript to correct the text in place.

Improvements

• Player UX - A round of usability improvements to the share page video player.

Two additions to your library today: lock any SulusCast behind a password, and upload existing videos straight from the dashboard.

Features

• Password-protected recordings - Set a password on a video and viewers must enter it before watching. Even the title stays hidden without access.
• Upload videos - Bring existing recordings into SulusCast with the new upload button in your dashboard. Uploaded videos get share pages like any other SulusCast.

Improvements

• Player polish - Chapters are better integrated into the player, alongside general UI tweaks.

SulusCast AI writes the boring parts for you. After a recording is transcribed, SulusCast generates a title, a summary, and chapters automatically. Rolling out gradually.

Features

• Automatic titles - New recordings get a descriptive name instead of a timestamp.
• Summary tab - A concise summary of the recording appears on the share page.
• Chapters - The player is split into chapters so viewers can jump to the part they need.

The dashboard has a new look. Cleaner navigation, a refreshed recordings grid, and better empty states across the app.

Improvements

• New layout - A tidier sidebar and header make it faster to move between your recordings, shared recordings, and settings.
• Refreshed SulusCast cards - Thumbnails, titles, and actions are easier to scan at a glance.
• Clearer empty states - New pages explain what goes where when you are starting out.

Share recordings from your own domain. Connect a domain in workspace settings and your share links use it instead of cast.sulus.ai.

Features

• Bring your own domain - Point a domain or subdomain at SulusCast and share links switch over automatically.
• Guided setup - Workspace settings walk you through the DNS records and verify them for you.
• Everywhere links appear - SulusCast cards and copied links use your custom domain once it is verified.

The share page now has a proper sidebar. Comments, the transcript, and view analytics live in tabs next to the video instead of below it.

Features

• Activity tab - Comments and replies in one feed beside the player.
• Transcript tab - The full transcript sits alongside the video for quick reading.
• View analytics - Owners can see how many people have watched each SulusCast.
• Workspace-only viewing - A new workspace setting restricts shared recordings to viewers with your company's email domain.

You can now connect your own S3-compatible storage bucket to SulusCast. New recordings upload straight to your bucket, and share pages serve them from there, so you keep full ownership of your data.

Features

• Any S3-compatible provider - Works with AWS S3 and S3-compatible services like Cloudflare R2 and MinIO.
• Your storage, your rules - Videos never have to live on SulusCast's storage, which pairs naturally with SulusCast being open source.
• Share pages just work - Links, thumbnails, and playback behave exactly the same on a custom bucket.

SulusCast now works for teams. Create a workspace, invite your teammates, and share recordings with everyone in it.

Features

• Workspaces - Set up a shared workspace for your team from the dashboard.
• Invites - Invite teammates by email, and manage pending invites from workspace settings.
• Shared recordings - Share any SulusCast with your workspace and it appears in a shared library everyone can browse.
• Per-seat billing - Workspace subscriptions scale with the number of members.

recordings are now transcribed automatically, and the full transcript appears alongside the video on the share page.

• Processing status - The share page shows transcription progress and updates as soon as the transcript is ready.

SulusCast Pro is here. A single subscription that removes the free plan's recording limits and supports SulusCast's development as an open source project.

Features

• Monthly or annual billing - Choose the plan that suits you on the new pricing page.
• No recording limits - Record and share without the free plan's usage caps.
• Promo codes - Discount codes can be applied at checkout.
• Manage billing in settings - Update your plan and payment details from your dashboard.

You can now record a SulusCast without installing anything. The new web recorder captures your screen and webcam straight from the browser and gives you a shareable link when you stop.

Features

• Screen and webcam recording - Pick a screen, window, or tab, and optionally add your camera.
• Upload as you record - Recordings upload in segments while you record, so your link is ready quickly after you stop.
• Works alongside the desktop app - Same account, same library, same share pages.

The share page is now a conversation. Viewers can leave comments and react with emojis directly on any SulusCast.

Features
