As an Easygenerator author, you can record audio directly in the platform without using external tools. This allows you to use the recording immediately in your course – making it easy to add narration, explanations, or spoken instructions to your pages and questions.
All recordings are saved automatically to your Media Library, so you can reuse them across courses. You can also trim the beginning or end of each audio file to remove pauses or unwanted sections before publishing your course.

You can also use the Mic test to test your audio levels.
Click Start recording (the red microphone icon).
You can pause and resume the recording as needed.

Considerations
Considerations
The maximum recording time is 10 minutes. When this limit is reached, the recording will stop automatically, and the audio will be processed and uploaded.
For the best recording experience, we recommend using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
Only the author who originally recorded the audio can trim it.
Recorded audio files are linked across courses. If you edit or trim a reused audio file in one course, the changes will overwrite the original audio everywhere it is used.
To start recording, you must enable microphone access in both your browser and operating system settings.
