# Extension 1.0.3

## Recording Rail and Camera Controls

- **Compact recording rail** - A draggable rail sits on the page while you record, with hover actions for pause, restart, and delete.
- **Camera resize** - Resize the camera bubble directly on the page, and dismiss panels without interrupting the recording.
- **More reliable starts** - Recording start and preview handling are more stable, and display capture retries automatically when the browser is slow to hand over the stream.

# Extension 1.0.2

## Record From the Cap Dashboard

The extension now connects to cap.so, so you can start browser recordings directly from the Cap dashboard with the extension handling capture.

# Extension 1.0.1

## Smarter Camera and Mic Permissions

- **Accurate permission status** - Camera and microphone status now reflects what Chrome has actually granted, so if access is reset you are asked again instead of seeing an empty device list.
- **Faster device checks** - Permission state is remembered between sessions, so the recorder panel shows your camera and mic status right away when it opens.
- **Standalone panel fallback** - On pages where the recorder panel cannot open, Cap now opens in its own small window so you can still start a recording.

# Extension 1.0.0

## Introducing Cap for Chrome

Cap is now available as a Chrome extension. Record your screen, a window, the current tab, or camera-only video without leaving the browser, and your recording uploads while you record so a share link is ready the moment you stop.

- **Tab, screen, window, and camera recording** - Capture the current browser tab, your full screen, a single window, or record camera-only video for quick updates.
- **Instant share links** - Recordings upload to your Cap library as you record, so the link is live the second you stop.
- **Camera bubble** - Keep a webcam overlay on the page while you record for walkthroughs and demos.
- **Microphone and camera pickers** - Choose your devices from the on-page recorder panel, with system audio where Chrome supports it.
- **Countdown before recording** - A short pre-roll countdown runs before capture starts, and you can cancel at any point during it.
- **Microphone check** - Cap warns you before recording starts if your selected microphone is not picking up any sound.
- **Draw on the page** - Turn on drawing mode from the recording bar to annotate the page while you record.
- **Quick dashboard access** - Jump straight to your Cap library from the recorder panel.
