More archive tools
Pullsy also ships free browser-only tools for archiving the rest of your online content.
Two scenarios teachers actually run into.
Real workflows, not generic use cases.
A 14-minute algebra lesson for students who were out sick
You record a single 14-minute lesson — opening review, new material, preview of next class. Pullsy's auto-chapter generator segments the recording at topic transitions, so a student who only needs the 'new material' section skips the review and the preview. The full transcript is searchable: a student can type 'quadratic formula' into the transcript search and jump to the exact moment you wrote it on the board. Post the link to your class page; absent students watch on their own time.
A 3-minute video feedback on a student's essay
Instead of typing 400 words of margin comments, you open the student's Google Doc, record a 3-minute walkthrough of what you are seeing — what is working, what needs revision, specific lines to look at. Send the link as the feedback. The student gets your voice, your pacing, your emphasis — and the AI-generated summary is a one-paragraph TL;DR they can reference later.
Frequently asked
Will this work on a school-issued Chromebook with managed policies?
Yes, in most cases. Pullsy uses Chrome's standard Web Capture API, which is built into ChromeOS and does not require an extension or admin policy. Some school-district ChromeOS policies do disable screen capture for the student role — in that case, Pullsy returns a permission error and there is nothing we can do from the browser. If you are a teacher recording on your own device, this is a non-issue. If you are a student trying to record on a managed Chromebook, ask your IT admin to allow screen capture.
Is the recording FERPA-compliant?
Pullsy recordings are hosted on Cloudflare R2, with the link unlisted by default (no public directory, no search index, no public URL). You share the link only with the people you choose. The recording does not include the student's name, email, or any other personal data unless you say it out loud — if you mention a student's name in the video, that audio is in the file. For student-data privacy, the right pattern is to use the recording as the teacher's voice-over feedback, not the student's submission; if you are screen-recording a student's work, blur or redact identifying information before sharing the link.
Can my students ask the recording a question?
Yes. The ask-the-video chat is built into every Pullsy share page. A student who is watching at 11pm and does not understand the formula you wrote at the 4:23 mark can type 'wait, can you explain the quadratic formula again?' into the chat, and Pullsy pulls an answer from the transcript with a clickable timestamp. The student jumps straight to the re-explanation. This is the feature that turns a passive video into a homework helper.
