Simple Yet Powerful Screen Recording Features
Record Screen + Audio
Record your screen while capturing your voice in the same take, so viewers get both context and explanation together, without extra setup or syncing later.
Mouse Highlight
Make the cursor stand out on screen so viewers don’t lose track of where you’re pointing, especially in detailed UI demos and step-by-step walkthroughs.
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.
Player Page Customization
Customize the video player page with branding and layout choices so shared recordings look professional, feel consistent, and match your team’s identity.
AI Metadata
Generate metadata like titles, summaries, and keywords from your recording so you can organize videos faster, improve search, and keep libraries tidy.
Intergrations
Connect Dadan with tools your team already uses, so recordings and links fit naturally into your workflow across docs, chat, tasks, and shared spaces.
