Start a recording

  1. Open Screen Recorder from Tools.
  2. Review the recording tips and choose Start Recording.
  3. Select the browser tab, window, or screen requested by your browser.
  4. Allow microphone or system audio only when the walkthrough needs it.
  5. Perform the product flow, then stop and review the recording.

Record a useful walkthrough

  • Close private tabs and notifications first.
  • Use a clean demo account with safe sample data.
  • Move the pointer deliberately and pause after important actions.
  • Speak naturally; ngram can turn the recording into a cleaner script and structure.
  • Do not expose passwords, API keys, personal data, or customer information.

After recording

Review the capture before adding it as source video. From the editor or agentic handoff, trim or restructure the walkthrough, add narration, captions, music, or an avatar, and remove mistakes that do not belong in the final story.

Enhance a qualifying recording

When a Screencast or Screencast + Avatar keeps speech from the source video, the pre-start flow can show Enhance your recording. Each option is optional; review the untouched recording before deciding what to change.

  • Remove filler words from the source speech.
  • Remove long pauses or tighten pacing.
  • Isolate the voice from background sound.
  • Change the narrator voice while preserving the source delivery and timing.
  • Apply the visible screencast enhancement option when the recording qualifies.

Browser troubleshooting

If the picker does not show the tab or audio source you need, check browser and macOS screen-recording permissions, then reload the recorder. Record a short test before a long walkthrough to verify audio and resolution.
