Video: How to record your screen using Mediasite Capture

You can use Mediasite Capture to record your display―content displayed on your computer screen. These types of recordings are useful for sharing information and are often used for training videos, software demonstrations, and webinars.

When recording your display, you have the option of recording content in a web browser tab, a window, or the entire screen. If you have multiple monitors, you can choose which screen to record. Once you have completed your recording, you will upload it to Mediasite where you can edit, enhance, and share it.
