Options
To run the application in the background without indicating that the recording is being performed, use Hide application from taskbar but show icon in notification area option. The application when minimized does not appear in the task bar, but as a system tray icon. You can access the main functionalities like record, pause, resume, and stop from the system tray itself without having to access the main application user interface. You can anytime restore the application window just by double clicking the system tray icon.
The video can be played as soon as the recording is completed by selecting the Play Video after the recording is complete option. You can choose to show a countdown before recording starts, so that you are prepared.
File Save Options
By default, the application asks for a filename after the recording is complete. When you make multiple screen recordings and want to automate the file naming process, you can choose to assign filename rules. Create a filename prefix, for example, Video. You have a choice to append sequential numbers or date and time, by selecting the options, Append sequential numbers to the filename or Append date and time to the filename.
Working Folder
The files created during your screen recording are stored on C:\ drive in a temporary folder. In Figure 1, the files are stored in C:\Users\Testuser\AppData\Local\Temp. You can click Browse to select a different folder to save the temporary files.
