Record lessons students can actually replay

10 October 2026 · 4 min read

Most lesson recordings are watched once, if at all. A one-hour video is hard to navigate: students can’t find the five minutes they need, small handwriting is blurry, and there is no way to ask “where did we cover this?”.

A replay, not a video

When you record a lesson on Inkwis, it records what happens on the board — every stroke, page change, poll and question — alongside your voice. A replay rebuilds the board at any moment:

  • Scrub to any second and see the canvas exactly as it was, sharp at any zoom.
  • Read the transcript next to the board.
  • See polls, questions and chat where they happened on the timeline.

Because the replay is the board itself, students can zoom into a diagram you drew at 20:15 and read every label.

Ask the Replay

With Ask the Replay, a student types a question — “what did the teacher say about osmosis?” — and gets an answer drawn from what was said and drawn, with timestamps to jump to. It turns a recording into revision material.

Share it with the right people

  • Everyone on the board, or only the people who were there — useful when a lesson includes students’ work or discussion.
  • A share link for students without an account; turn it off any time.

Recordings are kept for 45 days on the free plan, 6 months on Plus and 3 years on Pro, and you can delete one whenever you like.

How to record

  1. Press Record in the top bar (with or without a live session).
  2. Turn your microphone on if you want your voice in the replay.
  3. Teach as usual.
  4. Press Stop recording. The replay appears under Replays a moment later, and the transcript follows shortly after.

Try it

The Record and replay lesson inside Inkwis takes about two minutes. Start free — recording and replay are included in the free plan’s six hours of live sessions.
