Can Peek record system audio?

This post is since 4 years ago, i can't believe that we still can't record a video with sound from the computer.

Hi, Felipe, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! ✨

Take a look at this article for instructions on how to create an aggregate device:

• 3 Steps for Recording Microphone and System Sounds Simultaneously

Let me know if this works!

Chiming in here to express my disappointment that Articulate has not added this functionality after 4 years of requests by people who have paid the very high price for this app suite. Including system audio is basic functionality included in many other (far less expensive) screen recording apps. I attempted the fix Maria shared above and it was a mess. Not only did it not work, but I got blasted with feedback while attempting to implement this convoluted "fix."

Seriously disappointing 

I would also love this functionality. Very disappointing that it's been 4 years since the initial request and has not been actioned. It's a shame that customer requests are being ignored. 

Hi Becky,

Were you able to take a look at the suggestion Maria shared above?

This article can help you set this functionality up:

3 Steps for Recording Microphone and System Sounds Simultaneously

Hi Leslie 

Yes I have seen this, but I can record system sound on platforms like Panopto with a simple click of a button within the platform itself. Today I used Panopto over Peek for the sheer ease of not having to go through other steps to set up an aggregate device. Therefore I think customers would rather have the request added to the road map as opposed to being given a workaround. 

Thanks, Becky.

Yes. This is still an open feature request with our team, so we are adding your responses to our request.

I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests, which may be helpful. 

Good day, has there been any further discussion on updating Peek to allow system recording?  I have been following this thread for a couple years now, and this limitation on Peek is causing me to consider other options outside of Articulate.

Welcome to E-Learning Heroes, Eric!

Thanks for following up. Since Leslie's last response above, we don't have any new updates to share, but you're in the right place to get notified if there's any movement!

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!  

Hi, Edwin.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

We don't have a timeline 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!

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.

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.

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! ☀️

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.

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!
