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 Text

Add text overlays to label steps, call out key points, or add short captions, making recordings clearer for people who skim, revisit, or watch without sound.

Set Link Expiry

Set an expiration time on shared video links so access closes automatically. Helpful for time-bound reviews, approvals, and sensitive internal updates.
