Before You Start Recording
Confirm permissions, capture sources, destination, and available storage before the full session so the finished video contains the screen, camera, and sound you expected.
Close private windows and notifications, then arrange the applications that should appear in the recording.
Decide whether the video needs internal audio, microphone narration, webcam presence, or a combination.
Record a brief sample and check the image, sound, cursor, webcam placement, and saving location.
Choose the Full Screen or a Selected Area
Match the recording area to the material the viewer actually needs to see.
- Open the screen recording task from the main workspace.
- Select full screen when the recording moves between several applications or windows.
- Select a custom region when the video should focus on one app, panel, or demonstration area.
- Keep private notifications, files, and unrelated windows outside the selected region.
- Confirm the capture frame before starting the session.

Enable only the sources required by the recording so the result stays clear and focused. Use headphones when recording internal audio and microphone together to reduce speaker echo.
Internal Audio and Microphone
Capture computer sound, narration, or both together for meetings, tutorials, demonstrations, and support videos.
Add Webcam Video
Include presenter video when face presence improves a lesson, product walkthrough, update, or reaction recording.
Start and Control the Recording
Use the live recording panel to confirm that capture is active and to control the session without losing track of progress.
- Check the selected screen area, audio inputs, and webcam state.
- Start recording and confirm that the timer advances.
- Pause when the session needs a temporary break.
- Resume without creating an unnecessary new recording.
- Stop when the demonstration, meeting, or lesson is complete.
For an important recording, check the first few seconds before continuing with a long session.
