Can Peek record system audio?
I cannot see an option where Peek can record system audio. Is there a workaround to record system audio versus using a mic for quality. I am using Camtashia for this now but would love to use Peek

What a basic feature that's missing from Peek! This was first discussed four years ago, and I'm truly disappointed that Articulate doesn't respond to customer needs...

Hi Articulate, Peek 360 is a decent screen screen grab tool. But in this endemic era, there has been a huge demand in the industry to also capture both video and system audio at the same time for training purposes. Without it, it greatly dampens the UX of Peek. (The experience is as though driving a vintage car with just FM Radio and you have to self-modify the player with a weird third-party Bluetooth adaptor to play Spotify). Having this feature will meaningfully improve the experience of Peek and benefit all users. I am not sure why this basic feature is not incorporated into Peek from the start. I suspect it may be due to copyright issues etc.
2022 is a new year with new goals and wishes from all of us. Would the team be able to advise if you will be looking into it in the new year and share any new updates on the the expected implementation timeline of this feature?
Thanks!

I'm shocked this isn't a feature. This is a big issue. Is this ever going to be resolved?
Hi Ray!
Thanks for your voice on this.
This is still an open feature request with our team, so we are adding your response to our request.
I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests, which may be helpful.

It's been a minute since someone commented on this. Are there any updates? We've just invested in a license for this suite of products. It seems to me that having the ability to record system audio is such a basic feature. It's looking like we'll have to spend additional funds (that we didn't budget for) on a different product.

I just came to chime in that for anyone who has the whole suite of Articulate products and is finding this limitation in Peek annoying, you can use Storyline to record a screencast that will include system audio.
Hi Timothy,
Thanks so much for reaching out and sharing your perspective.
We don't have an update to share on the feature request, as it hasn't made it to our feature roadmap, but we'll be sure to notify you when we have some news!
Hope you have a nice start to your week! ☀️

What is the status on this, Articulate? The work around is a 9 year old post... Come ooon please.
Hi Michael, and thanks for checking in!
I don't have an update on this since Luciana's post above but I'll certainly share your comments with our team. Please let me know if there is anything else we can assist with in the meantime!
