Use a Channel Recorder button
What is a Channel Recorder button?
Adding a Channel Recorder button enables your audience to launch the recorder and submit their content to your channel. The recorder button launches a version of the screen recorder, that contains a simplified uploading experience that uploads directly to your channel.
This feature is available with our Team Education, Team Business and legacy Team Premier Plans. View our Plans.
