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.
