Follow these accurate steps to begin recording your screen like a pro:

Step 1 Launch the Program

Step 5 Use Real-Time Annotation Tools

While recording, click the pencil icon to open the annotation toolbar. Add highlights, arrows, text, or shapes to emphasize important elements on-screen. These tools are helpful during live demonstrations or explainer videos.

Step 6 Stop, Preview, and Save Your Recording

When finished, click the Stop button to end the session. A preview window will pop up, allowing you to trim unnecessary parts if needed. Finally, you can export your video in MP4, WMV, or MOV format or upload it directly online.

Capture Your Screen in Different Recording Modes

Mode 1: Record in Full-Screen Mode

To record all the activity on your screen, open AceThinker Screen Grabber Pro and choose Full-Screen recording mode. This mode is perfect for recording screen videos or webinars and does not allow you to lose anything that happens on the screen. Just open the software in your browser, press the "Record" button, and let it capture everything displayed on the screen in real-time.

Mode 2: Record in Custom Mode

The Custom Mode is best when you need to pay attention to a certain aspect of your screen, such as a Vimeo video or a specific app window. Select the area, place it anywhere on top of the content you want to capture, and hit REC to start recording only that area. This process assists in removing distractions and conserves storage space.

Mode 3: Record with Camera

To use your Webcam and record a tutorial, reactions, or personalized video, you may turn on the "Record with Camera" mode. This enables you to capture yourself beside or in place of the screen content. Just enable your Webcam in the preferences, select the layout (e.g., picture-in-picture), and record.
