Simple Yet Powerful Screen Recording Features
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.
Capture system playback and your microphone together, ideal when you need to explain what’s happening while also recording audio from the app or browser.
Highlight clicks visually so viewers can follow actions more easily, which helps in software training, support walkthroughs, and product demos with many steps.
Edit your video by editing the transcript. Remove words or lines and the video updates, so you can polish recordings faster without frame-by-frame cutting.
Add shapes like boxes, arrows, or highlights to direct attention to the right UI element, especially when you’re explaining multi-step workflows on screen.
Set an expiration time on shared video links so access closes automatically. Helpful for time-bound reviews, approvals, and sensitive internal updates.

FAQs
Use the built-in recorder if you just need something quick. If you want screen + mic + webcam with simple edits and easy sharing, Dadan keeps it straightforward.
Most modern devices do. Mac has a built-in screenshot/record toolbar, Windows has built-in options, and Chromebooks also include screen capture tools. If you need more control, a dedicated recorder like Dadan helps.
It depends on the device. Mac commonly uses Shift + Command + 5. Windows often uses built-in capture shortcuts. Chromebooks have their own capture keys, check your OS help panel.
For tutorials and demos, 30 fps is usually enough. For fast motion (games, animations), 60 fps looks smoother but needs more system resources.
When you start recording, select the display/window you want. If you don’t see the right screen, disconnect/reconnect external monitors and restart the recorder.
Yes. Modern browsers can record a tab, a window, or your full screen. If you want a simpler record-and-share flow, Dadan’s Chrome extension lets you capture from the browser and share fast.
