Can I see a large bill coming?
Your running estimate for the month is on your account, updated as you record.
Is there a minimum or setup fee?

How do I get the yearly rate?
Email us to prepay a year of storage at $0.05 per hour of footage, per month. Clips kept 12 months.
Can I record YouTube streams?
Yes. YouTube blocks capture from datacenter servers, so recording runs through a small relay app installed on your own computer. It uses your YouTube login in Chrome to resolve the stream. Cookies never leave your machine. Set up a relay under Your computers in organization settings.
Does recording via my computer cost more?
No. Rate: $0.05 per recording-hour, the same as cloud capture.
