Recording Files
Recording files can be opened in two ways. From the chat input bar, it is mainly for attaching recordings to the current message. From Settings, it is mainly for managing saved recordings. Both show the same recordings, but they are meant for different tasks.
How to Open It
- Select recording file dialog: click Record → Select recording file in the chat input bar. Use it to attach saved recordings to the current message.
- Recording files management: open Settings → Advanced → Recording files. Use it to rename, delete, and batch delete recordings.
Shared Features
Search and Preview
If you have many recordings, search by recording name. Clear the search box to return to the full list.
Recordings are sorted by time, with recent recordings easier to find near the top.
Before sending or deleting a recording, preview it to make sure the content is complete and does not include passwords, verification codes, private keys, or other sensitive information.
If a recording is marked Recording interrupted, preview only plays the part that was saved.
Start a New Recording
If none of the existing recordings is suitable, you can start recording from the current window. This is useful when you planned to choose an old recording but realize you need to demonstrate the current workflow again.
Once recording starts, the current window closes and the floating recorder bar appears. You can open Recording files again while recording to find and attach older recordings.
Rename and Delete
Both places let you rename and delete recordings, but the entry points are different.
- Select recording file dialog: hover over a recording to show the Edit and Delete buttons. This is best for a quick rename or deleting one recording.
- Recording files management: the Edit button appears next to recordings; after selecting recordings, click Delete. This is best for managing recordings, especially batch deletion.
When renaming, press Enter to save, or click outside the input; press Esc to cancel. Names can be up to 18 characters.
Agivar asks for confirmation before deleting. After confirmation, the recordings are removed from Recording files.
Make sure you no longer need a recording before deleting it. If you delete a recording that is still processing, its remaining processing work is stopped too.
Special Statuses
| Status | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Processing / Queued | Attach it first and wait for processing to finish before sending, or delete it if you no longer need it. |
| Not processed | Attach it to the input bar if you still want to use it; Agivar will process it again. |
| Recording interrupted | Preview the saved part first. If more steps are needed, continue it from the selector. |
| Local file missing | This computer cannot find the recording file, so the recording usually cannot be used here. |
Select Recording File Dialog
The selector is mainly for attaching saved recordings to the current message.
Attach to a Message
- Select the recordings you want to send.
- Select more recordings if needed.
- Click Select.
You can select up to 5 recordings at once.
Processed recordings can be sent with your message. Recordings that are still processing must finish before you can send.

Continue an Interrupted Recording
If a recording is marked Recording interrupted and more steps are needed, click the green continue recording button on the recording.
Continuing a recording appends new actions to the original recording. The total recording length is limited to 10 minutes; once the limit is reached, it cannot be continued.
Recording Files Management
Recording files management is mainly for maintaining saved recordings, especially when you need to delete several recordings.
