Fixes for the things that usually go wrong.
How do I draw anywhere on my screen?
Run the Capture Marker companion app, then record your Entire screen here. Press Alt+Shift+D to draw over any app, on any monitor, and Esc to go back to clicking. Your drawings are on screen, so they're in the recording. Drawings won't appear if you record a single window or tab.
How does the in-page marker work?
Once a source is showing, pick the marker, highlighter, arrow or box on the left of the preview and draw on it. Everything you draw is part of the recording. With disappearing ink on, marks fade after a few seconds so they never pile up.
What are moments?
Press M or the flag button while recording to mark a moment. Viewers see a list of moments under the video and can jump straight to each one. You can rename or add moments after recording.
How do I flag a bug or a step while recording?
Use the floating controls that open when you start recording (in Chrome, Edge, Brave and Firefox). Bug, Important and Step mark that moment, so viewers can jump to it. Choose Draw to see the recording there: draw on it, or pick a flag and click the spot to pin it in the video. Pause and Stop are there too, so you never have to leave what you're recording.
Can I use Capture on my phone or tablet?
Yes. Phone and tablet browsers can't record the screen, but your device can: use its screen recorder (on iPhone and iPad, in Control Centre; on Android, in Quick Settings) or its camera, then open Capture and tap Choose a video. Capture turns it into a link you can share, with comments. Keep the page open while it gets the video ready. Watching, commenting and your library all work on phones too.
The screen picker never shows up
Your browser may be blocking screen capture on this page. Use a recent Chrome, Edge or Firefox on a laptop or desktop. On a Mac, open System Settings, Privacy and Security, Screen Recording, turn on your browser, then restart it.
My recording has no sound from the video I played
Choose Browser tab, then tick "Share tab audio" in the picker. Sound from the entire screen is only available on some computers, mostly Windows and ChromeOS.
My browser crashed mid-recording
Reopen this page. Footage is saved every second while you record, so you'll be offered the chance to recover it.
How do I save recordings to Google Drive?
Sign in, then press the cloud button on any recording, or select several and choose Save to Drive. It goes straight to Drive, so there's nothing to download first. The first time, Google asks you to allow it. Copies go into a "Capture recordings" folder in your Drive, and Capture can only see the files it saves there.
Do I need an account?
As a guest you can record, draw on your screen and watch your recordings here. To share a link, download a recording or save it to Google Drive, create a free account or sign in. Recordings you made as a guest on this device come with you, including the one you just made.
I forgot my password
On the sign-in screen, choose Forgot password? and enter your email. Open the email we send and click its link, then choose a new password.
Can I choose who watches?
Yes. On a recording's page, under Who can watch, pick Anyone with the link, People at a company (for example everyone with an @pricepally.com email), or Only people I add. For the last two, viewers confirm their email by clicking a link we email them, before the video plays. You can change this any time, and the link stays the same.
Can I organise recordings into folders?
Yes. In the Library, choose New folder. Drag recordings onto a folder, select several and choose Move to folder, or pick a folder on a recording's page. Deleting a folder never deletes the recordings in it.
How long can a shared recording be?
Capture compresses recordings as you make them, and spends less on parts of the screen that stay still. Capture records at 1080p by default. At 1080p a share link fits at least about 35 minutes with lots of movement, and often over 2 hours when the screen is mostly still. "Screen size" records your screen at its own size (up to 2560 by 1600) for the sharpest small text: on a 2560 by 1600 screen, at least about 20 minutes. 720p makes the smallest files (at least about an hour), but shrinks small text. While you record, the studio shows how much time you have left, based on the recording so far. Longer recordings still save on your device.
How much can I share?
Each account has 200 MB of share space, enough for about 4 long recordings or 30 or more short ones. The bar in the studio shows how much you've used. Stop sharing an old recording to make room; it stays on your device.
What happens to my information?
Guest recordings never leave your browser. With an account, Capture keeps your name, email and the recordings you share, and Google Drive saving can only see the files Capture creates. Read the full privacy policy.
