Hi Lilach and welcome to Heroes!

When you add in a screen recording you'll be able to format the mouse clicks. To do so, click on the "mouse" within the timeline or on the slide itself and you'll see a section appear in the top toolbar to Format -> Mouse. In the far left hand side you'll see the choice to have no clicks, single click or double click:

Thanks. That was what I heard too. It just sounds like two clicks to me. I guess it is the press and release of the mouse.

In the past (years ago), we had a different sound when using Captivate that sounded like just the one press (without the release of the mouse).

Thanks for looking it at it though

Hey Lynn,

Ah, ok! That does make sense, and I understand what you mean a little better now. The "Single click" sound we use mimics an actual mouse click- so like you mentioned, you'll hear both the click and the click release.
