Cap is a self-hosted screen recording and video collaboration platform designed for teams to replace synchronous meetings with asynchronous video updates. It provides a comprehensive suite for capturing high-resolution desktop activity, including system audio, microphone input, and camera overlays, which are then processed through an integrated post-production workflow.
The platform distinguishes itself by offering full data sovereignty through containerized deployment and object storage abstractions, allowing users to host their media assets on private infrastructure or S3-compatible buckets. Beyond simple recording, it features keyframe-based video compositing, automated AI-powered transcription, and visual branding tools that enable creators to polish and annotate their content before sharing.
The system facilitates team engagement through a centralized workspace where viewers can provide feedback via timestamped comments, reactions, and playback analytics. It also includes programmatic interfaces for embedding videos into external applications, managing media assets, and automating distribution workflows.
The project is distributed as a containerized application, enabling deployment on private servers to maintain complete control over data storage and access permissions.
