DEMO:
- Demo: It is used to record product demonstrations.
- Pres: It helps to record Webinars and presentations
- Movie: Very useful in recording high-quality movies/videos
- Other: Any other type of recording.
VIDEO QUALITY (HQ):
The size of the video recording changes significantly depending on the quality selection,
HIGH QUALITY
Only if there are any product demo videos or any other presentation videos which need to be published, go for high-quality videos. Because high-quality videos do require a lot of disk space. But if you have enough space then you are good to go with it.
LOW QUALITY
If the video is for temporary use and the quality is not very important then Low quality is recommended. For example, if you are recording your screen to show your friend how to access a particular site then it can be done with Low-Quality video as the quality is not very important.
SIZE OF THE VIDEO:
This sets the resolution for the video. By default, it is set to 100%, i.e., current screen resolution. However, if the video target is a mobile device, it can be set to a lower resolution, say 360P, to get a smaller video recording file size.
RECORDING TIME:
Recording time: Video recording terminates after this time period. However, the recording can be terminated at any time by clicking on the Finish button.
Speaker and Microphone toggle buttons help to enable/disable recording sound generated from the speaker and microphone. Screen and Camera toggle buttons help enable/disable screen and/or camera recording. It is not recommended to disable both.
Enabling the recording boundary shows a rectangle around the recorded area. Similarly, enabling cursor records cursor with a circle around the cursor for easy tracking and also with a separate circle for cursor clicks. Enabling counter counts down the counter for 3 seconds before the start recording. This time period helps to perform any pre-recording settings as required.
