It would be nice to be able to stream to multiple platforms from squad-cast for virtual interviews.

Every time I start a new project the Desktop preview forgets that I don't want to record using my camera and that I need to record one of my 3 screens. Therefore, I have to make those 2 selections for every new project. I frequently record courses that involve dozens of lessons, where each lesson is its own Descript project. Having to make those 2 selection every time is incredibly time consuming.

It seems that iOS/iPad WebKit has issues with USB based microphones. At least this is the answer I got from Rode and was able to validate myself with some simple checks. If not a full blow iPadOS app as wished in the https://feedback.descript.com/feature-requests/p/ipados-app - may be you could at least create a simple recording app based on your skills from Squadcast? The problem is really the WebKit interface, so the app must be kind of native for the recording and the connection to the USB-C based microphone. Thx for considering

This would avoid feedback audio when recording a livestream in google meet.

a statement that tells you how something or someone looks, sounds, etc.

It would be great if there were an app for android and iphone. Descript and CapCut both have web and app versions...

Why does the tendency at Descript seems to be to continue to pump out countless new features every month while failing to fix problems and get the basics right? First, the recorder continues to be clunky. Now, when I start a recording (screen capture + camera using 2-3 screens), the main Descript windows is randomly minimized. Why? This suddenly changes the emission of light coming from the screen and is a problem. Also, when recording (screen capture + camera), the camera preview window keeps jumping to the screen capture window, so you have to manually drag it away every time you start a new recording. It's incredibly annoying. I've reported this before and the problem has gone completely ignored. And it may be worth asking (again): why is it not possible to pause a recording, or stop and dismiss it? Instead, Descript immediately uploads every take. For long takes, it means that gigabytes of data are uploaded for nothing, freezing up the computer potentially for hours. This is incredibly inefficient and badly designed.

Would be nice to have the option before transcription starts. Sometimes I break wind and laugh during the recording. 🤣💨

Connecting Elgato’s Stream Deck to Descript and SquadCast would add a whole new level of functionality. There are many things I’d like to plan in advance before recording, and if I was able to, for example, have a bunch of layers ready to be turned on and off as I record with the push of a button, it would save me countless hours of editing. Plus, live broadcasts could be super fun with such a set of options!
