• When you are creating a webcam recording for the first time you need to allow access to your microphone and camera.
  • Click ‘Allow’

• Once you have allowed access to your microphone and camera you have the option of choosing what device you would like to use.
  • Click on the ‘gear’ button (top right in the image below)
  • Select if you want to adjust the Camera or the Audio

• When you have chosen to adjust the Camera or the Audio you are given the option to disable the Camera or Audio altogether
• To do thi, click on the switch as seen to the bottom right of the image below
• You can also choose what device to use if you have multiple devices installed

• Once you have set the input devices and/or disabled audio or video you can start a recording
  • Click the big red knob in the middle of the video preview screen to start recording

• A countdown timer will count down from 3 to zero:
