Video resolution and camera restrictions
Video recording resolution is ultimately determined by the camera you use to record. For example, if you set your maximum recording resolution to 4K but use a camera that can only record up to 1080p, your video resolution will be 1080p.
Recording Dock
Once the recording begins, you will notice a small recording timer on the side of the recording area. If you are recording in fullscreen mode, or with a near-fullscreen manual recording area this timer will be located within the viewable recording space.
Here you have the option to stop the recording. macOS users may also pause a screen recording.
Pausing recordings for Windows will become available in a future update.
Hiding the Dock (macOS)
Users on macOS 12.3 and later will not see the recording dock in the completed recording.
MacOS users on earlier versions may disable the recording dock by toggling Minimize recording dock in the Screen Recorder preferences. You can hover over the right edge of your screen to pull the hidden recording dock back up.
Resizing and moving your webcam preview window
You can resize or move your webcam preview window before or during a recording:
- To resize the window, click and drag the edge of the preview window
- To move the window, click and hold anywhere inside the preview window, and move it anywhere on your screen.
