In their own words
Elva
Elva provides browser-based video and audio recording for podcasters and content creators. It records locally on each participant’s device, so a connection problem need not interrupt the local recording. Participants receive separate audio and video tracks, and guests can join through a link without installing software or creating an account. Elva also lists screen sharing, automatic transcription, and exports for editing in Final Cut via FCPXML or Premiere via XML. Recording workflows can use cloud hosting or self-hosting. The Free plan costs nothing, supports two participants and 1080p recording, and keeps recordings for three days. Pro costs $19 a month, billed monthly, and includes 4K recording, four participants, separate tracks, social clips and transcripts; recordings stay forever. Team costs $49 a month, billed monthly, includes two seats and adds a whitelabel recording booth, AI-powered clips, more AI tokens and priority support. Additional Team members cost $20 per seat. Elva says cloud recordings are encrypted, and recordings are not accessed unless a user asks for debugging help.
