Introducing TalkTrack: walkthroughs that stay with the work
Record screen, camera, and voice while you move through a canvas — so context travels with the board, not into a forgotten inbox.

Async updates that actually land
Written updates are precise. Live meetings are rich. Most teams bounce between the two and lose the middle: a guided walkthrough that shows the board while you narrate decisions. That middle is TalkTrack.
TalkTrack is built for the moments when a screenshot is not enough and a meeting is too heavy. You record your screen and optional camera overlay, mix in microphone (and system audio when needed), and capture a walkthrough while you pan, zoom, and point at objects on the canvas. The viewer gets motion, tone, and spatial context in one artifact.
We built it because “I’ll send a Loom” often means the recording drifts away from the document it was meant to explain. Links rot. Folders multiply. The board and the explanation should live closer together.
Designed around the canvas session
Recording tools that live outside your workspace force context switching. TalkTrack starts from the work itself. Pause when someone pings you. Resume without rebuilding the setup. Duration limits stay honest so recordings stay watchable instead of becoming another abandoned hour-long file.
The compositor burns the camera overlay into the exported file so recipients do not need a special player. What you saw while recording is what teammates download later. Audio mixing keeps voice and system sound coherent when you play a clip or walk through a prototype on screen.
This sounds technical because reliability matters more than novelty. A walkthrough tool that drops frames or loses audio becomes a trust tax. We would rather ship a calm recorder than a flashy one that fails mid-demo.
When TalkTrack shines
Use it for design critiques, sprint demos, onboarding a new teammate to a crowded board, or explaining why a decision changed. Pair a short TalkTrack with a pinned note summarizing action items. Viewers get motion and narrative; the board keeps the durable truth.
Avoid hour-long captures. Aim for five to twelve minutes with a clear opener: what changed, what you need, where to look next. If you need longer, split by chapter and label each recording against a region of the canvas.
TalkTrack also helps distributed teams protect maker time. A thoughtful walkthrough can replace a status meeting that existed only because people did not share a map.
Privacy and ownership
Recordings belong to your workflow. Local capture keeps you in control before anything optional goes to the cloud. Treat TalkTrack like any other artifact: name it, attach it to the right document, and retire outdated versions when the board moves on.
Be mindful when a recording includes customer material or unreleased UI. The same judgment you use before sharing a screen in a meeting applies here.
Ready to replace another “quick sync” that could have been a walkthrough? Open a board in Cantuva, start TalkTrack, and leave your team a trail they can actually follow — without scheduling another call.
