Creating a Screen Recording of a Mobile App
Does anyone have suggestions for creating a screen recording of a mobile app that will generate the callouts the same way they do for desktops?
In the past (on my Pixel) I used an app that allowed me to show my screen on my desktop.
I still had to click on the phone, but I could capture all of the screens on my computer.
Once I had the screens, I brought them into Storyline and created the interaction. But you have to create all of the hotspots and callouts.
Here is a possible workaround:
- Load all of the screens in some app, like a picture app or even on PowerPoint slides.
- Then set them to advance on click. Basically you want to show the image and click on it to change to the next image.
- Then use Storyline to capture this with the Record Screen feature. It'll generate a generic hotspot and the feedback layers/callouts. And you can go into each slide and edit it.

Thanks so much, Tom! I like the PowerPoint idea. It at least eliminates the need to create all the hotspots and mouse movements. I appreciate the quick response.
