Create your agency, schedule shifts, record during shifts, and review attendance built from the recordings.
Staff Recorder is designed for fast onboarding. Create your agency, connect Google Drive, schedule shifts, and invite staff. Staff install the desktop app and record during allowed shifts. Managers review recordings and attendance built from those recordings in the dashboard.
Sign up, complete onboarding, and connect Google Drive so recordings have a destination from day one.
Connecting Google Drive early means every completed session lands in folders you control. Drive connection is required for full functionality and uploads.
Google Drive backupAdd team members with roles, set shift calendars (fixed hours or anytime), and share the desktop app download link.
Shifts define when recording is allowed. Staff install the desktop app once; after that they sign in and can start recording only when a valid shift (and quota) is available.
Staff start recording from the desktop app during shifts. Managers replay sessions and track attendance in the web dashboard.
During an allowed shift, staff press Start on the desktop app. The app records the screen in chunks and uploads to your Google Drive in the background. When the session ends (or auto-stops), the recording is available in Drive and the dashboard. Attendance is calculated from the recordings — recorded time versus shift hours. Managers open the recording and the attendance data side-by-side to confirm both hours and work performed.
Attendance & reportsAnswer
Most agencies complete signup, Drive connection, and first staff invite in under five minutes.
Answer
Yes. Staff press Start on the desktop app during an allowed shift. The app only permits recording when the shift, quota, subscription, and Drive connection are valid. It auto-stops when the shift ends, quota runs out, or the machine locks / display turns off unless the agency enables keep-recording-when-idle.
Answer
Open the dashboard, review attendance (built from the recordings), and play the corresponding recording if needed. Export or share from Drive when you need evidence for payroll or clients.
