The Recording tool is your simple, on-demand way to capture podcasts, interviews, reaction videos, solo updates, and multi-person discussions, no extra software, no friction. This guide walks you through creating a room, choosing solo or group mode, inviting guests, testing your setup, and recording clean, reliable content every time.
Setting Up a Recording Room
Log into MarketScale and click the Recording icon. This is your starting point for any media recording.
Solo or Group?
When you create a new room, you can decide whether it’s a solo recording or a group recording.
For a solo recording, don't add anyone. This is perfect for updates, explainers, messages, or quick reactions. And you can still share your room link; anyone who joins will simply claim an available seat. You can also invite participants once you're in the room.
For a group recording, you can add up to four participants as “reserved seats.” These can be fellow users (click their name and image) or external guests you add by email. Only the people you list here are guaranteed access. Others can join only if seats are available.
Name Your Room
Give your room a simple, topic-based working title so you can find it later. Your recordings will pop up under this name. You can rename the room any time, as well as the recording(s) after you submit them.
Click Create Room. Once it saves, your room appears under My Open Rooms just below the builder.
Sharing Room Access
The easiest way to get people into a room is to just copy the room link and send it directly — over Teams, in an email, or in a calendar invite. Anyone who clicks it can claim an open seat and join without needing a MarketScale account. Just open the room card and click Copy invite link. If you want to reserve a specific seat for someone, add them to a participant slot by typing their name or email. They'll get an email with their unique link, and that seat is held for them — think of it like reserved seats at a table. As soon as all seats are reserved or filled, anyone else who tries to join via the link will be blocked because the room is full.
Tips & Tricks
Testing Your Setup Before Entering the Room
Once you Enter Room, you'll do a quick tech test to make sure your camera, mic, browser, and connection are ready for recording. Make sure you've chosen the right camera and microphone from the menus.
Click Test now and wait a few seconds.
