Understanding the Presto Capture Admin Panel
The Presto Capture admin panel shows you everything happening with your recordings in one place. See how many videos come in, find any recording quickly, and set the defaults for new recorders. You’ll find it under the Presto Capture menu in your WordPress dashboard.
Applies to: Presto Capture 1.0.0 and above.
