Changing Screen Resolution

The resolution of the screen (the number of pixels it's divided into) determines how much information My Screen Recorder has to save for each frame of video.  The lower the resolution, the less information in each frame, and the smaller the final movie file that is created.  Also, lowering screen resolution can produce smoother video, because recording less information with each frame puts less of a load on the computer's resources.  Finally, recording at a lower resolution can avoid problems when your audience must play back your recording on PCs which have lower screen resolutions, in which case your recording might not fit on their screens.

In general, it's a good idea to record at the lowest resolution which still clearly shows what you are trying to demonstrate.

To adjust screen resolution:

1. Right-click on a blank area of the Windows Desktop and choose "Properties".  You can also open the Windows Control Panel and double-click the Display icon.
2. Switch to the Settings tab.
3. Drag the Screen Resolution slider to the chosen setting.
4. Click OK.
