Screen Recording won't record the right size screen
- 2 years ago
Hi, everyone!
I have some great news to share! We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 77, we've included important fixes and new features.
One of the enhancements we've included:
- Storyline 360 now supports screen recordings on primary and secondary monitors with DPI settings over 100%.
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you need additional help!
Hi Heather,
Thanks for sharing your file and images.
I took a look at the file and noted scenes 5 and 6 had step by step screen recordings that looked to match what you're hoping to accomplish. I could see the screen recording on the slide and the slide master items such as your Home, Info and Menu buttons and those were also accessible to be clicked while previewing. Were there other slides that were causing you trouble?
With a screen recording using Step-by-step mode it's important to note that the screen recording becomes a part of the slide background. There isn't a built-in way to move, resize, or change that - as this keeps the transition between slides and clicks in place.
What I've done in the past is conduct the screen recording at the desired size, and then either import that into a new Storyline file at a larger size or look at adjusting the story size after the fact. If you adjust the story size you can choose between these options:
- Scale to Fit: This scales existing slide content to fit proportionately within the new size. Objects that have locked aspect ratios will maintain their ratios. Objects that don't have locked aspect ratios may change shape, depending on the slide size you choose. (Learn more about locking aspect ratios.)
- Fill Background: This keeps the current slide background and applies it to the new size, but it doesn't resize your slide content. If you choose this option, use the corresponding Story Position drop-down to choose where existing content should appear on your slides.
If you need more help, let us know!

Thanks for taking a look at this.
Actually the course is ok. However, I need to add an new scene and the screen recording isn’t working like it did for how I did the ones on this course.
This course was created last year. I’m trying to edit/update it with new recordings.
Does this make sense?
Thanks
Heather
