Create a new recording

Aug 22, 2021

Hi

I'm coming across from Adobe Captivate and I'm looking for a vid tutorial to show how to create that first recording.  Yeah, yeah, easy, click Record Screen button but...

  • I work with 3 screens and it's only offering my default laptop screen.  Can I change it?  Can't see a 'choose screen or window' button and it won't let me drag the record outline to a different screen
  • Can I switch my web cam on before I start recording so audio and video webcam are one item (track?)?
  • I've looked at a few of the vid tutorias but I haven't found one that starts from basics to create a screen recording video.  They've all started by cutting straight through and talking about specifics, missing great chunks of the basics.

Hi, Fliss, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! ✨

We have a video tutorial called "Replay 360: Creating Your First Screencast Video" that I hope can answer some of your questions, but I wanted to get to the specific ones you asked:

  • Can I switch my web cam on before I start recording so audio and video webcam are one item (track?)?

Yes, you can move the webcam slider to the on position before you start the recording:

You should be able to move the recording box between the monitors. If this is not working, can you share a little bit about your setup, such as if you're using a PC or a virtual machine?
