Record in Chrome

Before you start: install the Chrome extension and sign in to Klipeo in the same Chrome profile. On a Mac, the Mac app's recorder records without the extension.

Record

Press Record in the editor header. On Home, switch the composer to Record and press the record button, or open + → Record → Record my screen. You can also click the Klipeo icon in Chrome's toolbar on any page.

Pick Full screen, Custom area, or Window. For a custom area, share your screen, then drag a rectangle over a still of it. Phone switches to Open phone capture instead. In the toolbar popup, pick Screen, Screen + Camera, or Camera first, then what to share: Full screen, Window, or Browser tab.

Set Auto zoom (Off, Follow cursor, or 3D motion) and a Countdown of 3, 5, or 10 seconds. Pick a Camera and Microphone by name, and switch System audio on or off.

Press Start recording, then confirm the tab, window, or screen in Chrome's own picker.

Press Finish on the recording bar, or Alt+Shift+S, to keep the take. Cancel and delete throws it away.

The take lands where you started it: on the timeline of the open edit, or attached to the Home composer. If you recorded another site, or Klipeo is in a different window, Klipeo comes back to the front when you finish. See where the take lands.

Record yourself on camera

Choose Camera in the toolbar popup to record the camera on its own, with your microphone and no screen. There is no share picker: a small studio window opens with your camera preview, counts down, and records. Press Finish in that window to keep the take. Screen + Camera records the screen with your camera as a round tile in the corner.

Read from a teleprompter

Switch on Teleprompter in the toolbar popup and paste your script. When the recording starts, the script scrolls in the studio window. Pick 1×, 2×, or 3× for the speed and A− or A+ for the text size, and press

Space to pause or resume the scroll. Pausing the take pauses the script too.

The studio is its own window, so a tab or window recording never shows it. A full-screen recording does, so place it beside what you record. Press the picture-in-picture button in its bar to keep the script on top of every window.

While you record

A bar on the page keeps the timer, Pause or Resume, Blur elements, Cancel and delete, and Finish in view. With the camera on, the extension places a mirrored camera tile in the lower-right corner of the frame.

Blur elements hides part of the page in the video itself. Press it, point at an element, and click to blur it; click again to unblur it. To go back to normal clicks, press Done or Esc. Blurs stay in the recording until you stop. You can also add a blur region later in the Record tab.

A take has no length limit. It keeps recording until you finish it.

Cursor tracking

Klipeo tracks your cursor, clicks, and typing on Klipeo's sites, the tab where you opened the extension, and every site if you chose Allow every site. That data places zooms when the take lands and powers Generate zooms later.

If something goes wrong

Record opens Connect Chrome, or the Home menu says Install Chrome extension to record. The extension is not connected; see If it does not connect.
The screen is black on a Mac. Allow Screen Recording for Chrome in System Settings → Privacy & Security, then quit and reopen Chrome.
Zooms did not follow you on another site. Grant Every site access, or record inside the tab where you opened the extension.
An upload failed. The extension keeps the local take until Klipeo has stored it, so reopen Klipeo and try again.
