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
Peek makes it really easy to record screencasts by recording narration at the same time you’re recording any on-screen actions using your computer’s mic. It sounds like you'd also like to have the option to record system audio, as well! Articulate 360 is evolving everyday, and that's a neat idea! Would you mind sharing your thoughts with our product development team here?
Just popping back in to share this workaround my colleague pointed out--you'll notice this is in an Articulate Replay thread, but the same method can be used for Peek. Give that a try, and let us know how you make out!
Hey Alyssa, Sorry I did not get back to you. The work around does not seem to work. I have some videos that I wish to record from system audio. I want the video an audio in Peek. For now I am having to record in Camtasia then upload to Peek or Replay. I will submit a feature request. Since I am using video in LMS it sure would be easier to do all this with Articulate tools.
I can't thank you enough for sharing this screenshot. I searched everywhere to record the screen audio but never noticed this tab here. And just for this reason, I relied on REplay every time I wanted to do a video recording. Thanks a ton :)
Coming back to this. I agree that being able to record system audio is important as well. I need to be able to capture everything that's going on, including dialog that may be coming through the system and not just through my mic.
Peek 360 doesn't have a system sound setting, but I'll let the team know you have a need for this! For now, a few suggestions that might get you most of what you need:
If your speakers are on, you can pick up program sounds when recording.
While this is a Replay discussion, this community method to adjust the Windows setting can help.
Seriously Articulate. People have been asking for Peek 360 to be able to record system audio basically from the beginning. Can you please get it together and get that feature activated? It's pretty basic functionality to expect from a professional-grade tool. Sorry to be annoyed, but Peek is far less useful than it could be if it natively recorded system audio.
I echo the above sentiments. Have been used to other software for screen capture and assumed Peek was the same :( I am now days out from a massive presentation and have just made this discovery. I must say I am very disappointed that's for sure
Sadly I have used our current budget on Articulate and a few other pieces of software that we needed :( Hoping against hope that internet access is available and then we can demo live
Have you considered downloading a free trial of Camtasia just before your presentation? Download it the day before, practice using it, use it to record your presentation, save the recording, then let the free trial expire. I've done things like that in the past when budget was a consideration .Note that Camtasia requires a bit more post-production work than Peek does (i.e., you have to export/render the video to .MP4 or another format, which takes a little time), but the recordings are great, AND you can record all system audio...
I echo all of the above sentiments. I cannot believe this discussion started over 3 years ago and there is still no such feature.. that's really disappointing. James - Camtasia adds a watermark to the video if you're using the free trial, so it's unfortunately not a great option.
Adding this as a request, was hoping by the time I got to the bottom of the page 4 years later it would be added! Have to reluctantly use screencastomatic now
I just made a 2 hour screen recording of our headquarter presentation, which I meant to publish in our local offices, and found out that it did not record the system sound. What a bummer! Please fix this as soon as possible.
Jumping on the train requesting this basic feature be added ASAP. I went with Articulate so I would no longer have to use 5 different websites and programs to complete everything necessary to build learning content, but it seems I'll have to keep using Camtasia or Screen-Cast-O-Matic instead of using Peek 360. Let's get this fixed please!

Thanks for taking the time to submit a request, Steve. That helps us keep tabs on how in demand this feature is!
No worries. It seems like a simple issue that would benefit a lot of users.
Not being able to record system audio seriously limits the value of this tool--I'd rather just keep using Camtasia, which has no such limitation.
Thanks

Hey Steve I just wanted to mention that replying to the forums via e-mail attaches your signature. You are welcome to pop in and edit if needed.
Has there been any progress on this front? I see this as a needed feature, to mute the mic and record system audio
Hi Brian,
We haven't made changes to the recording options within Peek yet. Were you able to test this workaround that Alyssa previously shared?
Is there a way to NOT record sound in Peek?
Hi Mark,
Absolutely. You can select 'None' under the microphones from the recording control bar.
You can find instructions here in Step 3.

Michelle,
Try Camtasia if you can. It does what you were hoping Peek would do.
Best,
James

this is a major limitation of the software.
Please add the option of recording system audio ASAP.
For the large amount spent on the Articulate 360 planform, a basic function like this should be available.
thank you.
