From launching the app to your first finished recording — in six short steps. No editing software required.
CaptureStudio ships as a standalone .exe for x64 — just download and run
(see Installation & Configuration). No
installation, no administrator rights required.
Give it a name via "＋ New Project". Every recording made for this project will be kept together in project management afterwards.
Use the window picker to choose the full screen or a specific open window. Optionally enable the speaker video (camera + microphone).
"⏺ Start recording" begins the capture — the floating control bar shows the timer, lets you mute the microphone, and cleanly stops the recording with one click.
After stopping, the preview shows the screen and speaker video as a draggable picture-in-picture. If the take worked, keep it — otherwise discard it right away and record again.
The recording stays saved in the project, or export it as a standalone folder with
combined.html and share it — even with colleagues who don't have
CaptureStudio.
A project can hold any number of recordings — e.g. one per tutorial chapter or customer bug report. Project management lets you switch between them; each recording can be played, exported, or deleted individually.
If, say, the microphone was accidentally muted or the take didn't go as planned, discard it right in the preview — instead of keeping an unusable file in the project and cleaning it up manually later.
Tip: The control bar stays visible on top during recording — so you can mute the microphone briefly at any time without interrupting the recording.
