Share your computer screen in a studio as the host, a guest, or a producer and it is saved as a separate video track. You can choose to share your entire computer screen, a program's window, or a browser's tab.
For best results and a smooth video of the screen share, we recommend the following:
Before recording
- If you are on a Mac:
- Confirm that your browser has permission to record (share) the screen.
- Use the MacOS desktop app to receive locally recorded, high quality, separate tracks for your screen shares.
- Close all other programs and tabs.
- Screen sharing, especially during a recording, uses a significant amount of your computer's processing power.
- Ensure you have a strong internet connection.
- Turn off any VPNs, firewalls, or browser extensions.
While recording
- Keep the window you are sharing at the same size for the duration of the recording.
- Otherwise, each time you change the window's dimensions, a new video track of the shared screen is created using its new resolution, including its height and width.
- Use picture-in-picture mode while screen sharing to keep an eye on the studio without switching tabs.
-
For visibility of content in the studio:
- You can increase the size of the content you are sharing for easier reading, especially if it is text.
- The shortcut to adjust its size is usually to hold the ⌘ key (Mac)/ctrl key (PC), then press the + or - keys.
- Participants on a mobile device can pinch-to-zoom the video frame.
