When starting a new recording, you can choose between 3 capture modes: Screen and Camera, Camera Only, and Screen Only.

Screen and Camera

This option lets you capture your screen, window, or browser tab along with your camera bubble. You can choose what to share before the recording starts.

Camera Only

This mode allows you to present directly to the camera. Choose screen only when you want to grab the full attention of your audience or make an introduction before start sharing your screen.

Screen Only

Present what is on your screen, without showing your camera bubble. Use this mode when you want to focus your audience's attention on your screen. Also useful when you're recording a virtual meeting, so your camera doesn't show twice on the screen.

Can I switch between recording settings?

Absolutely. You can switch between capture modes while recording. Here's how to do it:

From Screen only to Screen and camera

Mouse over the player controls to bring up the camera icon. Click on it to open your camera.
