Recording

Pause and stop a recording

Find the controls and confirm that your take has stopped.

These guides cover the development build shown on this site. Some controls may differ in the published installer. Check your version in Settings and the download notes.

During a recording

The floating recording controls show the active session and provide Pause and Stop. Pause holds the recording; resume when ready. Stop finishes the take and opens it for editing.

If the controls are hidden

Check the Pro Screen icon in the Windows system tray. Use its recording controls or the global shortcut shown by the app. Shortcuts can change when another program reserves the preferred combination.

What can appear in the capture

Capture exclusion varies with the recording source and Windows capture path. Do not assume a floating window or indicator is guaranteed to be invisible. Inspect a short test, especially when capturing an entire display.

After stopping

Wait for the editor and play back the take. Save the project before closing. Finishing a recording and shutting down a phone receiver are separate actions: stop the take, then stop the receiver if you no longer need it.
