How to Screen Record on Desktop

You may wish to capture a recording of a live lesson (or explore session) for reviewal or training purposes. Below are format suggestions, recording instructions, and a helpful disclaimer to get you set up for screen recording from our Desktop Application. 

Suggested Format

You can choose from the following 2 points of view to record from. Each will have its benefits, so choose according to the insights below:

1. Record from the Teacher POV

  • You will see the Teacher UI/UX
  • You will see the tools and buttons interacted with 
  • You will have a view of the students limited to the direction the teacher is facing. You will be able to hear students, but may not see them if they are standing behind the teacher out of "shot."

Tip: This format is best used for training recordings of facilitation. It will allow the viewer to see everything the teacher does, as well as students in view. 

2. Record from the Observer POV

  • You will need an additional person to be the "camera" in this format
  • This person will be able to choose the "best shot" with the freedom to move anywhere in the scene
  • The video will be clear of any instructor tools, buttons, or POV limitations

Tip: This format is best used for assessment, quality control, or post-lesson processing. It will give you the freedom to get the shot/angle you want, and will include all the participants in one clean video.
