Record voice

Screen Recorder does not currently provide a separate voice-only recording mode. Voice is captured as the microphone audio track of a video recording.

1. Select Video mode.
2. Select a capture area and click New.
3. Enable the microphone button before or during recording.
4. Click Start, speak into the selected Windows microphone, and click Stop when finished.
5. Open the resulting MP4 in the built-in media player or use the sharing actions.

Troubleshooting microphone audio

• Confirm that Windows detects the microphone.
• Allow microphone access for desktop applications in Windows privacy settings.
• Check that the microphone toggle is enabled.
• Remember that the output is an MP4 with video and audio, not a standalone audio file.

Microphone and system-audio sources can be enabled independently. The audio stream is created when recording starts, so disabling a source during a recording leaves that source silent in the mixed stream.
