Can "NEVER" create simulated hands-on-training using Storyline 360!

For the life of me, I can "NEVER" create simulated hand-on-training using Articulate 360 even though it is advertised as a feature of Storyline! Is that also the reason, Articulate publishes demo videos but NOT  A SINGLE hands on tutorial that you can point, click and carryout actions. Somethings are better learned "DOING" not "VIEWING". 

A bit of transparency goes a long way with users/subscribers to the software who pay a premium. Although, I have a disdain for Adobe's Captivate, it is one thing it does excel in, simulated training. 

Why can't you guys just admit it and put the issue to rest and stop advertising if the feature does not work. Or  better yet, don't reinvent the wheel, Buy a Company that excels in this feature and add it to Articulate's offering and offer an unconditional apology to those Articulate has caused frustration and hardship. You will build more trust with users/subscribers by being HONEST. Also, if does work, why on earth there is not a single hands-on-tutorial for simulated learning that you guys have. If you have, where are you hiding it, as I'd sure like to see something I have been searching online for 4 years!

Thank you and look forward to your response and guidance. REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THOSE HANDS-ON-TUTORIALs that you guys have somewhere in hiding.

    Apologies in advance for the follow-up....part of my question was I can never find any tutorial with hands-on practice (simulated tutorial)? What gives? For a company that makes premier software for e-learning...but all their videos  and tutorials are demos...doesn't that strike odd? Not a single hands-on tutorial? If there are, I'd sure like to see them?

  • I don't know I have always screen recorded from a desktop but have used both the primary and secondary monitors.

    Thank you Phil. Appreciate your response and the link. Does it matter if the the screen you are recording is on an external monitor attached to your laptop and not the main screen. Intuitively, I'd like to say - No, but checking just in-case. 

    Thanks again.

  • Storyline can record your screens and you can also build really good simulated training. In fact the team that built the original Captivate built Storyline.

    I have never needed a tutorial to do this, it is very simple to do, they do have KB articles
