A few things worth knowing

Recordings stay on your device until you choose to share them. They are held in memory until saved, with a ten-minute or 150-MB limit. Free recordings include Drawbly credit.

If microphone access is denied, change the site permission in your browser or record silently. Keep the tab open throughout recording.
