Editing videos in the dubbr: the dubbr is designed for desktop. It opens on tablets and phones but the timeline is hard to use at small widths. Use a laptop or desktop for editing.
Required browser features
For everything to work, the browser needs:
- JavaScript enabled

- HTML5 video. Standard in every modern browser
- WebSocket support, for live status updates and AI job progress
- Fetch API, for the dubbr’s API calls

Most are enabled by default. If you use strict privacy mode or a content blocker, allow alugha.com in the exception list.
Common browser-related issues
The video does not play:
- Update your browser to the latest version.
