FAQs

Why can't I record audio on my phone?
Mobile browsers may not support audio recording. Download the Padlet app to use these features on your phone.

There are a couple of factors that determine what you can upload to a padlet. What plan type do you have and how was the audio recorded? Read more about the different limitations here: Upload limitations for different plan types
