How To Record One Visible Window

Record The Window’s Screen Area

1. Open the target window and place it where you want to record. Close unrelated notifications and check for private information.
2. Select Window on the Record page and choose the visible target from the list.
3. Choose MP4 and the desired audio source, then click Start recording.
4. Leave the window in place. Use the floating controls, hotkeys or tray to reach recording controls without covering the captured area.
5. Choose Stop & save and inspect the result in Recordings.

A Visible Area, With Clear Limits

Window records the selected window’s initial rectangle on your screen. Keep that window visible, uncovered and in the same position. It does not follow a moved or minimized window or capture it in the background.

This differs from an API that captures a particular application’s surface while it is behind other windows. If your workflow requires moving or minimizing the target, this mode is not suitable. A screenshot and a window-area video also use different capture paths.
