Usage & Enterprise Capabilities
Core Functions
ScreenPipe offers a comprehensive suite of tools for capturing, managing, and utilizing screen recordings in enterprise environments.
- Recording Modes: Users can choose from full-screen, application-specific, or region-based recording. Options include scheduled recordings, activity-triggered captures (e.g., on app launch), and manual starts.
- Editing and Annotation: Built-in editor allows trimming, adding text overlays, arrows, highlights, and voice narration. Supports batch processing for multiple recordings.
- Storage and Sharing: Recordings are automatically uploaded to encrypted cloud storage. Users can generate shareable links with expiration dates, password protection, and viewership analytics.
Administration and Team Management
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Admins can define roles (e.g., Viewer, Editor, Admin) with granular permissions for recording, editing, sharing, and accessing analytics.
- Team Workspaces: Create isolated workspaces for different departments or projects, with customizable storage quotas and retention policies.
- Compliance and Audit Logs: All actions (recordings, edits, shares) are logged with user IDs and timestamps. Reports can be generated for regulatory compliance (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA).
Enterprise Features
- Single Sign-On (SSO): Integration with SAML 2.0 or OAuth 2.0 providers (e.g., Okta, Azure AD) for secure authentication.
- API and Webhooks: RESTful API allows automation of recording workflows, such as triggering captures from external systems. Webhooks notify teams of new recordings or processing completions.
- Custom Branding: White-label options for logos, colors, and domains to align with corporate identity.
- Advanced Analytics Dashboard: Track usage metrics like recording frequency, storage consumption, and viewer engagement. Export data to BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI) for deeper insights.

Deployment Options
ScreenPipe supports flexible deployment models to meet diverse organizational needs.
- Cloud-Based (SaaS): Quick setup with no infrastructure management. Ideal for small to medium-sized teams. Includes automatic updates and scaling.
- On-Premises: Self-hosted solution for organizations with strict data sovereignty or security requirements. Requires provisioning of servers and ongoing maintenance.
- Hybrid: Combines cloud storage with on-premises processing for latency-sensitive applications. Suitable for global enterprises with regional compliance needs.
Environment Variables and Configuration
Key environment variables for deployment (example for Docker-based setups):
SCREENPIPE_API_KEY: Secret key for API authentication.SCREENPIPE_DB_URL: Connection string for the database (PostgreSQL recommended).SCREENPIPE_STORAGE_TYPE: Set to 'local', 's3', or 'azure' for storage backend.SCREENPIPE_ENCRYPTION_KEY: For encrypting recordings at rest.SCREENPITE_LOG_LEVEL: Controls logging verbosity (e.g., 'info', 'debug').
Configuration files (YAML or JSON) allow customization of recording quality, retention policies, and integration endpoints.
Scaling and Performance
- Horizontal Scaling: Stateless architecture allows adding more application servers behind a load balancer to handle increased user load.
- Database Optimization: Use read replicas for analytics queries and connection pooling to manage database load.
- Storage Scaling: Integrate with object storage services (AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage) for unlimited scalability. Implement CDN for global content delivery.
- Monitoring and Alerts: Deploy monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana) to track performance metrics (CPU, memory, recording latency). Set up alerts for system failures or capacity thresholds.
Security Considerations
- Data Encryption: All recordings are encrypted using AES-256 in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest.
- Access Controls: Implement IP whitelisting and VPN requirements for on-premises deployments.
- Regular Audits: Schedule security audits and penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities.
- Backup and Disaster Recovery: Automate backups of databases and configuration files. Define RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and RPO (Recovery Point Objective) for business continuity.
