Small settings, big impact — from picking the right click style to portable export for sharing.

Recording

Using the control bar during recording

Click highlighting

Picking the right style

Five styles are available: ring, filled circle, ripple, dot, and crosshair. Which one fits best depends on the content of the recording.

💡

Tip: For tutorials with many small icons, a bolder style like ripple or ring works better than a subtle dot.

Speaker video

Choosing position and size to match your content

The speaker overlay can be positioned in four corners and three sizes.

💡

Tip: If important content sits in one corner (e.g. a toolbar icon in the bottom right), place the speaker overlay in a different corner so nothing gets covered.

Preview

Watch first, decide second

As soon as you stop, the preview shows both videos. Failed takes — say, because the microphone was accidentally off — can be discarded right away instead of ending up in the project and getting cleaned up manually later.

Export

Sharing it portably

Export produces a standalone folder with screen.mp4, speaker.mp4, and combined.html. That folder can be shared as-is — e.g. zipped and sent to colleagues or customers — even without CaptureStudio installed, since combined.html runs directly in the browser.

Video quality

Matching quality to the purpose

For sharing over email or chat, "Low" or "Medium" is usually enough — for archiving or later editing in a video editor, "High" is worth it.
