We found that the Stripchat VR videos recorded with CaptureGem are best viewed using HereSphere, available on the Steam store. However, any VR video viewing app should work. In HereSphere, set the videos to Fisheye and side-by-side (SBS), and it helps to reduce the field of view (FOV) to 120 degrees.
**We value security and privacy and can ensure this program is 100% free from any malware, spyware, or tracking.
Important: If Windows prompts you, click “Run anyway”. Also unblock firewall access for both CaptureGem.exe and recorderd.exe to ensure proper functioning (if Windows requests it).
You must become a premium member to activate all the features, which helps support the ongoing development. The premium version features unlimited recordings and auto-start capabilities when the model comes online. You can activate premium by entering your email in the app's settings.

You can pay with a credit card by first registering a CaptureGem account, and then upgrading your account in the Account Settings.

How do I install CaptureGem and run it on Windows?
On Windows, you can get CaptureGem by downloading it from the provided link above. After downloading, unzip the file and double click the CaptureGem.exe program to start it. If Windows prompts you, click “Run anyway”. Also if needed, make sure to whitelist CaptureGem.exe and recorderd.exe in your Windows Firewall.
Is it safe to use CaptureGem?
Yes, we ensure every Windows release is safely and securely built, and we release the cryptographic hashes which you can verify as well. Additionally for the Apple binaries, they are each scanned by Apple for any viruses as part of the signing and notarization process. We also do not bundle or install any adware, tracking, or make modifications to your system. If you have any questions about the safety of our software, feel free to ask in our friendly Discord community.
How do you handle private information?
We take privacy very seriously and have designed the app with privacy in mind. The recording and data logic happens completely on your local system, and we do not store or have access to your daily usage. Please note that if you enable anonymous error reporting enabled in the app, we will receive and store any errors you encounter in the app. When you create an account with us, we do not store or retain any personal information. Our payment processor maintains records of billing information, but we do not retain copies of that in our database.
How do I delete my account?
If you wish to delete your account and purge all records, please contact us.
Which sites are currently supported for recording from?
We have found that they are best viewed using HereSphere, available on the Steam store. In HereSphere, go into the advanced settings set the videos to Fisheye and side-by-side (SBS), and reduce the Field of View (FOV) to 120 degrees. Make sure to also set the aspect ratio to ‘auto’ or else the videos will appear stretched. Note that any VR video viewing app that can access your local filesystem should work.
I'm having trouble recording models from Chaturbate. What could be the reason?
Make sure you are entering the model's username in all lower-case, same as in the URL bar. Also VPNs can sometimes disrupt the recording, so you may want to disable any active VPN.
Is CaptureGem also available for macOS and Linux?
Yes, CaptureGem is available for macOS! You can find the download links above. In the future we may support Linux as well but there is no timeline.
The VR recordings sometimes disconnect early. How do I fix this?
There could be many possible reasons for this. First of all, make sure you have a fast enough Internet connection. Second, you can try using a VPN, as sometimes service providers rate-limit streams or cause other issues. You can also try increasing the network timeout setting. As a workaround, you can also reduce the disconnect retry setting to one second so that recordings immediately restart, and later on concatenate the videos with an editor. Feel free to reach out for help in our Discord if you encounter this issue.
How do I understand what the different settings do?
You can hover over each setting with your mouse cursor to see the tooltip. If you have further questions, please ask in our Discord.
Can this record privates?
No, unfortunately private recording is not supported.
What is the difference between CaptureGem.exe and recorderd.exe?
CaptureGem.exe is the user interface part of the application. recorderd.exe is a multi-threaded child process which handles the recording of the models and state management. The two processes communicate via web sockets, which is also why Windows Firewall asks for permission.
What programming languages were used to develop this?
CaptureGem.exe the user interface was developed with Electron.js in TypeScript and styled with MUI Joy. recorderd.exe, the child process, was programmed in Golang due to its better performance for multi-threaded and asynchronous I/O processing.
Why does the VR video appear too thin or stretched?
As mentioned above, if you are watching with HereSphere make sure to set the aspect ratio to ‘auto’. If you are using a different VR viewing app, you will need to adjust the aspect ratio there as well.
Something I've been looking for for quite some time. It does exactly what it says it does. It allows you to record both VR and non-VR cam streams in full quality. You can record dozens of streams at once and there's a handy review tab built into the program that has screenca...
