Video Glossary
Screen Recording
Screen recording is the process of capturing what happens on your computer or device screen as a video.
What is screen recording?
Screen recording captures whatever is happening on your screen and saves it as a video. You can record a full screen, a single window, or a browser tab, often with your voice or webcam added, which makes it ideal for demos and tutorials.
What screen recording is used for
It is widely used for how-to videos, software demos, onboarding, support answers, and feedback. Recording your screen lets you show a process step by step instead of describing it, which is far easier for viewers to follow.
Tips for good screen recordings
Close clutter and notifications, record at a clear resolution, and plan what you will show so the recording stays focused. Adding a webcam with picture in picture keeps a human presence on screen.
