Add a time-coded comment

Web appMac appiOS appClient portalUpdated September 2, 20262 min read

Every comment in RecReview carries a timecode. The comment box shows which moment you are about to pin — Comment at 0:12… — and that is where the note lands on the timeline.

Steps

  1. Play or scrub to the moment you want to talk about. Pause if you want to be precise; the arrow keys move one frame at a time.
  2. Click the comment box at the bottom of the panel.
  3. Type your note. Use @ to bring up the mention list.
  4. Click Send.

The comment appears in the list on the right and a marker lands on the timeline at that second.

The timecode locks as soon as you start typing, rounded to the nearest second. So you can scrub back mid-sentence to check something, and the note still lands where you meant it.

What a comment can carry

Alongside the text, a single comment can carry:

Commenting as a visitor

People who open a share link don’t need an account. If the link requires identification they enter a name and email once, and the browser remembers them. Commenting has to be enabled on the link — see Share a video link.

Note: Comments from visitors are always visible to everyone with access. Only workspace members can write team-only notes.

Finding a comment again

Click any marker on the timeline to jump to it. The All / Comments / AI Review filter above the list separates human feedback from what the AI flagged, and Auto-scroll keeps the list in sync with playback.

What’s next

Resolve and track comments covers what happens once the fix is done.

Frequently asked questions

Does the client need an account to comment?
No. On a shared link the visitor fills in a name and email once, then comments like anyone else — as long as the link has Allow comments turned on.
How long can a comment be?
Up to 5,000 characters.
