The Gravity Forms Pipe Add-On is an official integration that allows you to embed a video and audio recorder directly into your WordPress forms. It uses the Pipe Video Recording platform to handle the heavy lifting of capturing, transcoding, and storing media.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
The add-on adds a dedicated “Pipe” field to your Gravity Forms editor. When a user visits your site, they can record a video or audio clip using their webcam/microphone without leaving the page.
Cross-Platform Support: Works on desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and mobile (iOS and Android).
Automatic Transcoding: Converts all recordings into a web-standard .mp4 format, ensuring they are playable on any device.
Storage Flexibility: Hosted by Pipe by default, but you can configure it to push recordings to your own storage (S3, Dropbox, FTP, etc.) via the Pipe dashboard.

Max Recording Time: Set a hard limit (in seconds) for how long a user can record.
Audio-Only Mode: Toggle the field to record only audio (voice notes) instead of video.
Resolution & Dimensions: Specify the width, height, and quality (e.g., 720p, 1080p) of the recorder interface.
Autosave: Automatically save the video to the server as soon as the user finishes recording, even before they hit the “Submit” button.
Mirror Image: Flips the webcam horizontally during recording (useful for users to see themselves naturally).
Conditional Logic: You can show or hide the recording field based on previous answers in the form.
Merge Tags: Includes {pipe_video_url} and {pipe_video_embed} tags to display the recorded video in confirmation emails or success pages.
Workflow Automation: Compatible with Gravity Flow, allowing you to trigger video processing steps as part of a larger business approval process.
