No option to record audio from speakers?

Hi Rebecca,

If you select the "Speakers" option, it may still show as "No Audio" because the mic isn't enabled. However, it should still record the sounds playing in the background. 

I've done this a few times on accident, by forgetting to disable the speaker option. 

Have you tried recording a quick test screen recording with just the "Speaker" option enabled? If there's no audio, you may want to turn up your system volume, or make sure your headphones aren't plugged in.

Let me know how it goes!

Hi Christine,

Thanks for your suggestion, it does work, sort of, but the sound quality is very poor - it sounds like the radio is not properly tuned in....

Many thanks,

Becky

Hi Becky,

That sounds strange. Do you have a headset or headphones plugged in, by any chance? I know on my machine, if I have my headphones plugged in, my sound is "split". Certain sounds will go to my headset, but others will go to my speakers.

Out of curiosity, what type of audio are you trying to run in the background?

Thanks!

Hi! I think it was the headphones giving the trouble. I've played aroundwith the settings and set the audio quality of my speakers higher which seems to have mostly fixed it. The audio Im trying to capture is actually a preview of an articulate screen, so I can export it as a video file to put up on you tube

Thanks for your help! I really appreciate how quick the Articulate support is!

Wonderful! Very happy to hear you were able to get the quality up on the sound :)

Good luck on the project.

Have a great Friday and weekend, Becky!

Hi,

I am using this function, but actually I would only need the audio.

Is it possible to record just audio from the output of the speakers without the video? I did not find this in the insert audio options.

Thanks,

Attila

Hi Atilla and welcome to the community!

If you just need audio, you could record and then move the video off of the slide. This way, the audio will still be heard, but the video won't be displayed. 

Just insert the recording and then select it on the slide. Click and drag it off to the "gray" area of the work space. That area can still house content, it's just not visible once displayed. 

Let me know if that works for you :)

Thanks!

That sounds a great idea, thanks! I'll try it and let you know.

Best,

Attila

Dear Rebeca,

I tried the function but did not manage, as when I record screen and load as video on single slide there is only one item in the timeline. I tried to load as view mode steps, but in this case there was no audio attached.

Best,

Attila

Hi Atilla,

When you record a single video screen recording, audio is included, but you're right - only one video is produced and inserted into a slide. 

When you record a step-by-step recording, audio is not included. 

If you need to use this on multiple slides, it might work best to do short recordings for each slide you need, as a single video.

Good luck with the project!

Where is the speaker option in replay? I am only given the options for the different mic options and the only thing that opens when I click the settings button is the short cut to escape from the recording.

Hello Kelly - This thread is a bit dated. Are you asking about recording the internal audio? Perhaps the post here from a fellow community member, Steve, will assist you as well.
