Where each app keeps your recording
Clyper doesn't connect to these apps, so the first step is the file. Here's where to find it, in short; each page has the steps in full. Streamed to YouTube? Skip the file: paste the link once the stream has ended and been saved.
| Recording | Where to get the file | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Zoom recordings | Computer: Documents/Zoom. Cloud: the web portal, under Recordings & Transcripts | Cloud recording needs a paid plan; set the layout before the call |
| Google Meet recordings | The organizer's Google Drive, in the Google Meet folder | Recording needs a Workspace edition that has it, or Google One with 2 TB or more |
| Microsoft Teams recordings | The organizer's OneDrive, in Recordings; a channel meeting's, in SharePoint | Expires after 120 days by default, or what your IT admin sets |
| Riverside recordings | The editor: Export, then Download | The Free plan exports up to 720p, with a watermark |
| StreamYard recordings | Your Library: open the recording, then Download | Live streams are recorded on Core and up; Owners and Admins download |
| Spotify video podcasts | The video file you uploaded | Spotify's Download episode gives back the audio only |
| Twitch VODs | Creator Dashboard: Content, Video Producer, then Download | Kept 7 days, 14 for Affiliates, 60 for Partners and Prime or Turbo users |
| Kick VODs | Creator dashboard: Studio, VODs, then the download icon | Kept 7 days, 30 on verified channels |
| OBS recordings | File, then Show Recordings: your Videos, Movies or home folder | Upload the MP4, MOV or MKV as it is, no remux needed |

What makes a recording clip well
Clyper picks moments by what's said, from the transcript, then cuts each one on whole sentences, so it does best with people talking: calls, podcasts, interviews, talks, sermons, streams with commentary. A stretch with no one talking, like a silent play in a game, won't be found.
- Faces you can see. Each clip is framed on whoever's talking. In a call, speaker view gives the best clips; gallery view leaves each face small. Over gameplay, a webcam in a corner gets stacked on top of the game.
- Clear sound. A microphone close to each speaker makes the captions right the first time. The free background noise remover helps with a noisy room.
- The right size. Up to 4 GB and 4 hours a file. For a longer or bigger recording, the free video splitter cuts it into parts without re-encoding.
- Everyone's OK. A call or an interview has other people in it. Ask them before you post clips of them.

Questions
What recordings can Clyper make clips from?
Any video of people talking, from a minute to 4 hours long: a call, a podcast, a stream, a webinar, a sermon, an interview. Upload it as an MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV file up to 4 GB, or paste its YouTube link if it's on YouTube.
Can Clyper connect to Zoom, Google Drive or Twitch?
No. Clyper takes YouTube links and uploaded files, so download the recording from the app it's in and upload it. Each page above shows where that app keeps its recordings and how to download them.
What if my recording is over 4 GB or 4 hours?
Split it into parts with the free video splitter, which cuts without re-encoding, so the parts look exactly like the original. Or make it smaller with the free video compressor. Each part is its own upload.
What kind of recording makes the best clips?
One where people are talking and you can see who: clips are picked from what's said, and framed on whoever's talking. Speaker view, a camera on each person and a clear microphone make the biggest difference. A recording of only a screen, with no one talking, gives little to clip.
Is my recording kept private?
It's used to make your clips and isn't published anywhere. Uploaded videos are deleted 2 days after you upload them, and clips and your edits 7 days after they're made, so download the ones you want to keep.
How much does it cost to clip a recording?
A credit a minute of video: a one-hour recording uses 60 credits and can give up to 30 clips. Plans start with Starter, month to month.
