Personal space limits and trimming

Your Personal space is free with limits. Here is what they are and what to do when a recording does not fit.

The limits

Every account has a Personal space that only you can use. It holds 10 hosted recordings at a time, each up to 2 minutes long, and keeps them for 14 days. Recordings you share from a team organization do not count.

When three or fewer slots are left, the dashboard and the Library show a banner. Click Manage videos to delete recordings you no longer need.

When a recording does not fit

The plan limit sheet explaining the recording is safe on this Mac, with upload and trim choices.

Shoyu keeps the recording on your Mac and explains which limit it hit. You can upload it to a team instead, trim it, make room, or choose Not now and decide later.

Trim to 2:00

The Trim recording sheet with Start, End and Length, and a Save and upload button.
  1. In the limit sheet, click Trim to 2:00….
  2. Drag the start and end until the badge says Fits the 2:00 limit.
  3. Click Save and upload.

Shoyu saves the selection as a new recording with “(trimmed)” in its title. The original stays on your Mac as it was.
