FAQ

Screen Recording questions

What can I record?

The full screen, a single window or an area you select, with or without the mouse cursor.

Yes. Turn on sound from the microphone and the web camera in the Recorder. Sound from your speakers can be recorded too.

You set them in Settings, under Video, for example 1080p (Full HD) with the H.264 codec.
