Detailed Description

The AudioRecorder component is a high level media recording component, as well as providing tools to select the audio input and control the quality of the output.

This code sample provides a simple control panel for recording audio, with buttons to start recording, pause, stop the recording, define the file's output location, and play back the result.

This code sample demonstrates the usage of AudioRecorder, providing an control panel for the recording and playback of audio. In addition to the AppFramework.Multimedia plugin, this sample also requires the QtQuickDialogs, QtMultimedia, and QtQuickLayouts plugins to run.
