Here's everything we shipped in October 2026 in NeetoRecord. ## New features 🚀 #### Watch time and engagement analytics Earlier, you could see how many times a recording was played, but not how much of it people watched. A recording's Analytics tab now shows [the average view duration, average engagement, and which parts viewers watched, skipped or rewatched](https://engage.neetorecord.com/changelogs/watch-time-and-engagement-analytics). The Audience view lists signed-in viewers and the moments each one played. Detailed tracking started on 26 October 2026. #### Markers on the video timeline You can now [add markers to save moments in a recording](https://engage.neetorecord.com/changelogs/markers-on-the-video-timeline) while you watch, each with an optional note. Markers show up as notches on the progress bar, and the Markers tab lists them so you can search them or jump back. Markers are saved in your browser, so other viewers don't see them. #### Your own play button Earlier, every video showed the NeetoRecord play button. You can now [use your own image as the play button](https://engage.neetorecord.com/changelogs/custom-play-button), such as your logo or a photo of yourself. Viewers see it on shared links and embedded videos, and adding it to your global theme applies it to all new recordings. ## Enhancements ✨ #### Pick up where you left off Earlier, if you closed a long recording halfway, you had to find your place again. The player now [resumes from where you stopped](https://engage.neetorecord.com/changelogs/pick-up-where-you-left-off), and cards on the recordings page show how much you've watched. Watch on NeetoRecord in an embedded video also opens at the same moment. Progress is saved in your browser. #### Player remembers your captions setting The player now remembers whether you turned captions on, the same way it remembers your playback speed, so your choice carries over to the next video. Before you press play, hovering over the video shows the regular controls instead of a speed picker under the play button. The cursor also hides while the video plays. #### Automatic redirect to your custom domain Once your [custom domain](https://help.neetorecord.com/articles/custom-domain) is active, anyone who opens a recording or a recording request on your NeetoRecord subdomain is taken to the same page on your custom domain. Links you've already shared keep working, and search engines get your custom domain as the page's address. Team members who are signed in to NeetoRecord aren't redirected. #### Video uploads and more in the API, MCP and CLI You can now [upload an MP4 of up to 2 GB through the API, the CLI, or an AI assistant connected to our MCP server](https://engage.neetorecord.com/changelogs/video-uploads-and-more-in-the-api-mcp-and-cli), if it can send files from your computer. All three also share the same recording list filters, such as owner, folder and tag, and can read or generate action items. ## Bug fixes ⚒️ - Restarting a recording in the web recorder or the Chrome extension now starts a clean take, so the new video no longer begins with a piece of the discarded one. - ChatGPT now receives the screenshots it captures from your recordings through our MCP server, instead of saying no image was returned. - AI assistants connected through our MCP server now find a recording from any of its watch links, including links copied from embeds and older links. - MCP tools no longer fail on recordings without a title, and they now return the same title you see in NeetoRecord. - Embedded videos on a page that reloads often no longer hit a limit that stopped their transcripts from loading. - The number of days left before a share link expires no longer shows a day too many or too few around daylight saving time changes. - On the Choose your recorder screen, the buttons on the three recorder cards now line up on smaller screens. - In the Chrome extension, a camera background image that can't be added now shows an error message instead of crashing the extension. - With Chrome open in two windows, such as on two monitors, the Chrome extension's countdown now shows only in the window with the recording toolbar. That's everything we shipped in October.
