What Is Screen Recording?
Screen recording is capturing what happens on your screen as a video, along with any audio you add.
Screen Recording
Screen recording follows the action on your screen over time and saves it as a video. Paired with a microphone or webcam, it turns whatever you are doing on a computer into something you can share and replay.
It is the base for demos, tutorials, walkthroughs, and feedback, wherever showing beats telling.
For example, you record your screen to show a colleague how to run a report instead of typing out the steps.
