Important Notes Before Recording

To ensure a smooth recording experience, please note how Poindeo captures audio in different modes. 

Due to current web browser limitations, Poindeo can capture one audio source at a time. You can choose to record either your computer's audio (from a tab or your entire system) OR your microphone's audio (your voice).

When recording your entire screen:

• You can choose to capture system audio (all sound from your computer). Note: This feature is available on Windows only. How: Check the option that says “Share system audio” when choosing what to share.
• Or, you can choose to capture microphone audio (your voice). First, allow the microphone permission in the browser and enable the microphone before recording.

When recording a browser tab: 

• You can choose to capture the sound from that specific tab. Check the option that says "Share audio".
• Or, you can choose to capture microphone audio.

When recording a specific application window:

• You can only record audio from your Microphone.
• Capturing the application's sound directly is not supported in this mode.
