The Screen Recorder captures your screen, your voice, and your camera, and can show an AI avatar as the presenter instead of you. This doc shows how to open the recorder, set up a recording, and edit and download it.

Open the Screen Recorder

To open the tool:

  1. In the left menu of the dashboard, click Apps.

  2. Under Education & Business, click Screen Recorder.

Opening Screen Recorder from Apps

💡 Tip: You can also click Screen Recorder under Quick Start on the dashboard.

Set up your recording

To choose what to record:

  1. Click Avatar On to show an AI avatar as the presenter. Click Avatar Off to hide it.

  2. Click Unmute to record your voice, and Start camera to record your webcam. Allow microphone and camera access if your browser asks.

  3. Click Share screen and choose what to capture: your entire screen, a window, or a browser tab.

  4. Click the red Start recording button to start.

Turning on the avatar, then pointing at the microphone, camera, Share screen, and record buttons

Note: If your plan has a time limit, it's shown under Start recording, for example 5 minute limit.

While you record, you can:

  • Stop: Saves the recording and opens the editing screen.

  • Cancel: Deletes the recording and takes you back to the setup screen.

  • Restart: Deletes the recording and starts a new one.

Edit and download your recording

After you stop recording, the editing screen opens. To finish your video:

  1. Use Layout to choose how the screen and the presenter are placed.

  2. Use AI Avatar to change the avatar, and Background to change the background.

  3. Use Trim and Split to cut out parts you don't need.

  4. Click Export to make the video, then download it. To add more scenes or other elements, click Advanced Editor to open it in the video editor.

💡 Tip: Close apps and tabs you don't need before you record, and use a good microphone if you're speaking.

FAQ

Can I record without appearing on camera?
Yes. Turn on Avatar On to show an AI avatar instead of your webcam. With the microphone on, the avatar moves its lips with your voice.

Where can I find my earlier recordings?
Click Recent recordings on the setup screen. Recordings stay there for 30 days.

What if I recorded without a microphone?
You can add narration later with text-to-speech in the video editor.

Why didn't my recording start?
Your browser needs permission to share your screen, and to use your microphone and camera if they're on. Allow access when your browser asks, and try again.
