Simple Yet Powerful Screen Recording Features

Record Your Screen

Capture your full screen, a window, or a selected region in crisp quality, so you can show work clearly for updates, training, demos, and walkthroughs.

Record Screen + Webcam

Record your screen and webcam together, so your audience sees the on-screen steps plus your face cues in one shareable video, without stitching clips.

Screen Annotation

Add simple on-screen annotations while recording to underline, circle, and mark key areas, so tutorials and walkthroughs feel clearer and easier to follow.

Edit Video

Edit recordings with simple controls so you can clean up timing, remove mistakes, and tighten delivery quickly, without exporting into another editing tool.

Add Zoom in

Add zoom-in effects to focus attention on small UI details like menus, toggles, or fields, so viewers can follow along clearly on any screen size easily.

AI Metadata

Generate metadata like titles, summaries, and keywords from your recording so you can organize videos faster, improve search, and keep libraries tidy.

FAQs

  • Many YouTube videos will record fine, but paid/DRM-protected streams often show a black screen or block capture. If it’s allowed, record the tab/window with Dadan and keep audio set to mic unless system audio is supported.
