Please note: This Support Guide is about Warpwire's legacy Screen Capture tool. For multi-source capture and better reliability, we recommend users switching to the Multi-Source Capture tool.
Users can record their screens directly from Warpwire using the Screen Capture tool.
To record your screen, first navigate to the Media Library where you'd like to make your recording. Then, click the plus (+) button at the top of the screen, and select "Screen Capture" from the menu.
Screen Capture is supported in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera, though the process is somewhat different. Screen Capture isn't supported in Private/Incognito windows in any browser. Follow the instructions for the browser you are using.
If you've never used Warpwire's Screen Capture tool before, you'll be prompted to download the Warpwire Screen Capture Google Chrome extention before proceeding. You'll also need to give Chrome permission to access your micrphone and screen, if you've not done so before.
You'll now have a couple of options.
You can either capture your entire screen, by selecting the "Entire Screen" option.
Or click "Specific Window" to select the window you want to record.
Note that with Warpwire's Screen Capture tool, you need to select “Entire Screen” if you want to record a PowerPoint or Keynote presentation in fullscreen/presenter mode.
After clicking "Specific Window," the resulting popup will show all of your currently open windows for you to choose from.
Select the window you want to share, and then click the "Share" button.
You'll now see the video preview for your new screen recording. After selecting the desired audio source, click the round video button 
to begin recording.
Now you can proceed with your screen recording, navigating to the particular window you're recording, or if you're recording your entire screen, simply going about the activity you want to record.
When you're done with what you want to record, navigate back to the Warpwire browser tab and click the red circle icon to end your recording 
.
