When I record a screen while in Storyline, a slide is created. Is there a way to record a screen and then insert the video into a slide layer, without creatint a separate slide?
I can insert an external video file into a slide layer, but I can't find a way to insert the video created by Storyline into a slide layer.
As you've probably noticed, there's no default option to insert into a layer once you've created the screencast. However, you should be able to copy/cut and paste a single video recording into a layer.
You will not be able to do this with a step-by-step recording, however, as those recordings are split and actually become the background for slides. What you could do with this is lightbox the slides from a layer that contain the split video, however. Not entirely sure if that would work for your course, but might be work a try.
I just want a way to put the recorded screen as a single item into a layer - and I was able to copy/paste the screen recording into the layer. So the screen recording does not create a separate file that can be inserted.
I have recorded a screen recording and would like to insert it into a layer so that when the user clicks on a button, the video will appear and play. How do i do this? I am having the hardest time figuring this out.

Hi Ejuana,

I hope this helps!

Hello Kelley and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you are running into when adding your screen recording.
The default behavior is to create a new slide(s) when this is done but, as Ejuana mentioned, copy and paste works well.
Take a look at this Peek 360 video where I demonstrated this.
