How do I recover an interrupted recording in Canvas Studio Capture for Chrome and Edge browsers?

Canvas Studio Capture is an integrated screen capture option currently available for Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browsers. Canvas Studio Capture for Chrome and Edge browsers has expanded recovery features that allow you to continue recording if connectivity is lost and to save partial recordings interrupted by a browser crash or loss of power during recording.

In the event of a power loss, or if your browser crashes during recording, a draft of your unfinished recording is saved in your browser and Canvas Studio prompts you to delete the unfinished media or save it to your Studio library the next time you open Studio.

If connectivity is lost during recording, Canvas Studio Capture continues to record without interruption using the computer’s memory. If connectivity is not restored when the recording is complete, a draft is saved in your browser and Canvas Studio prompts you to delete or save the media to your library the next time you open Studio.

Note: The prompt to restore video displays only when you are logged in to the same Studio user account on the same device where the recording was made.
