# Record screen, camera and voice

> Capture your screen, webcam or a voiceover directly in the browser and add the recording to the Media pool

The **Record** dialog captures your screen, camera or voice without leaving GoFrame Editor. Recordings go straight into the [Media pool](/editor/media-pool), where you can transcribe, caption and edit them like any other file.

Open it with **Record screen, camera, or voice** in the Media pool header (or **Record** in an empty pool). The dialog reads "Capture your screen, camera, or voice and add it to the media pool."

</Frame>

## Choose what to record

The dialog has three tabs.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Screen">
    Click **Choose what to share** ("The browser will ask which screen, window, or tab to record.").

    Options:

    * **Microphone**: pick a device, or leave the mic off. With the mic off the dialog reads **Microphone off — system audio only (when shared)**.
    * **System audio**: include the sound of what you share.
    * **Camera**: add your webcam on top of the screen. When it is off, the dialog reads **Camera off — screen only**. With the camera on, choose a **Camera bubble** shape (**Circle** or **Rounded**) and drag the bubble in the preview to position it.
    * **Output**: **Single file** merges screen and camera into one video. **Separate tracks** saves them as separate synced assets, so you can reposition or cut the camera independently later.
    * **Mic as separate track**: save your voice as its own audio asset. It is easier to edit, duck under music, or replace later.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Camera">
    Allow access when the browser asks (the tab shows **Requesting camera…** meanwhile), then pick the **Camera** (**System default** or another device) and the **Microphone**. **Mic as separate track** is available here too.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Voice">
    Records audio only. Allow access when asked (**Requesting microphone…**), then pick the **Microphone**.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### Common options

* **Quality**: **Standard** (5 Mbps) or **High** (12 Mbps).
* **Start with 3-2-1 countdown**: gives you a moment to get in frame before capture starts.

## Record

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start">
    Click **Start recording**. With the countdown on, capture begins after 3-2-1.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pause and resume">
    Click **Pause** to hold the take and **Resume** to continue. You can keep using the editor while a recording runs.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Stop">
    Click **Stop** and wait a moment while the file is prepared.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Review and save

After you stop, the dialog shows the take with its file details and a player to check it.

* **Add to media**: import the recording into the Media pool.
* **Retake**: discard this take and record again with the same settings.
* **Download**: save the file to your computer. With **Separate tracks**, every track is downloaded.

If you close the dialog before adding the take, it is discarded; download it first if you want a backup.

<Note>
  Very large takes may not persist in the browser's local storage after a reload. Keep Cloud Sync on for them; see [Import media](/editor/import-media).
</Note>

## Long recordings and 30-minute parts

Each take is saved in parts of up to 30 minutes. Nothing is lost when you pass the limit.

* Shortly before the cap, the dialog warns you that the current part is about to reach the 30-minute limit. The part is then saved to media automatically and recording continues as the next part.
* You can also stop right away, or split into a new part immediately.
* Each saved part is a separate asset in the Media pool.

<Tip>
  Parts are separate assets. Drop them on the Timeline back to back and the cut between them lands at the 30-minute mark; snapping makes lining them up easy. See [Edit clips](/editor/edit-clips).
</Tip>

## Permissions and troubleshooting

* Camera or microphone access denied: allow the device in your browser's site settings and try again.
* Screen recording permission denied: allow screen sharing for the browser and choose a source when prompted.
* No camera, microphone or screen found: check that the device is connected and not in use by another app.
* Recording not supported: use a Chromium browser such as Chrome or Edge.
* Nothing was recorded: the take was empty. Check the selected source and try again.
* If the recording cannot be added to media, the take stays in the dialog; retry **Add to media** or **Download** the file so you do not lose it.
