Can I pause in the middle of recording?

Yes, when you record a story with Remento, you can easily pause the recording and resume when you are ready to begin again.

To resume an interrupted recording, follow these steps:

  1. Log Into Remento

    • Open a browser and navigate to Remento's website.

    • Enter your login credentials to access your account.

  2. Access the Stories Tab

    • Once logged in, locate the "Stories" tab in the navigation menu. Here, you will find your saved recordings.

  3. Select Your Story

    • View your recent recordings and find the story you wish to continue.

    • Click on the story to open it and start recording from the last point.

Will I lose my recording if I close my browser?

There are many scenarios where a recording might be interrupted and it can be frustrating to lose your progress! That's why we have done our best to save in-progress recordings that get unexpectedly interrupted. If one of these things happens to you, there is a good chance we have saved your recording:

  • Your phone dies

  • Your internet or cellular connection cuts out

  • You navigate away from Remento to answer a phone call or respond to a notification

  • You need to step away and forget to pause the recording

  • Your phone or computer falls asleep

  • Your dog eats your phone (so sorry about that!)

To reduce the risk of device-related interruptions, make sure to adjust your phone's settings:

  • Check Your Device Settings: Ensure your phone does not automatically enter sleep mode or lock too quickly. Consider extending the auto-lock time or disabling sleep mode entirely while recording.

We do have some limitations to how we can handle these scenarios. The good news is, when you go back to Remento, you will see this notification:

From here, you can choose to start over, resume recording, or submit the previous recording. Unfortunately, in the above scenarios, we are not able to show you the previous recording, even though it is safe and sound uploaded into Remento. Once you submit the recording, you will be able to view all of your recordings in your Stories section.

For users looking to view and access previously saved recordings, navigate to the "Stories" tab in your account. This section allows you to manage and continue working on all your saved recordings.
