Screen Capture

The Screen Capture page (at /screen-capture) records your screen right in the browser — perfect for tutorials, product demos, bug reports and walkthroughs. The recording saves into your Media Library so you can drop it straight into a Studio project.

The Screen Capture page — audio options and a Start Recording button that prompts you to choose a screen, window or tab

How to record​

  1. Choose your audio options: tick Include system audio to capture tab/window sound, and/or Include microphone (voiceover) to narrate as you record. (Browser support for system audio varies.)
  2. Click Start Recording.
  3. Your browser asks what to share — a whole screen, a window, or a single browser tab. Choose one and confirm.
  4. The page shows a live recording state with a timer. Do whatever you want to capture.
  5. Click Stop when you're done.
  6. Preview the result, give it a filename, and save it to your media library.

If recording is blocked​

Screen recording needs permission from both the browser and your operating system. If you see an error or the picker doesn't appear:

  • You clicked Cancel on the share picker — just start again.
  • macOS: enable it in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen Recording, tick your browser, then restart the browser.
  • Unsupported browser: use a current version of Chrome, Edge or Firefox. Some browsers don't support in-page screen recording.
Best results

Close notifications and tidy your desktop before recording. Record a slightly longer take than you need — you can always trim it later in Studio.

After recording​

Your capture lands in the Videos tab of the Media Library. From there you can:

  • Download it.
  • Send it to Studio to trim, add captions, or layer in a voiceover.
  • Combine it with other clips into a finished tutorial.

That's every interface in the Vidiking app. To start automating what you've built, head to the API Keys & Console or the Quick Start.
