With the browser recorder selected, Settings > Integrations can show enabled Video, Audio, Screen Capture, Photo and Screenshot controls on comments/forms. Use mode="audio", mode="screen", mode="photo" or mode="screenshot" for one enabled type, modes="video,audio" for a subset, and direct_preview="1" to skip the introductory Continue screen.
The browser recorder adapts its camera presentation to landscape or portrait use, supports available camera and microphone switching, and provides a review step before upload.
