Screen recordings

Capture your screen straight from the Mozaik web app — pick a screen, window, or tab, add your mic, and the clip drops right into your project.

When a scene needs a screen capture instead of a talking head — a product walkthrough, a how-to, a quick demo — you can record your screen directly in the Mozaik web app. Pick what to share, hit record, and the clip lands back in your project, ready to edit or run through an automated pipeline.

Where to start

Open your project and select the recording scene. Pick the Footage element to open its options, then open the Create recording menu and choose Screen recording. (For a talking-head clip, choose Webcam recording instead — that's covered in its own article, along with the general recording overview.)

Choose what to capture

The Start screen recording window gives you two modes:

  • Screen only — record just your screen (the default)

  • Screen + camera — record your screen with your camera image on top, handy for narrated walkthroughs where you want to stay on screen

Set your microphone

Under Device settings, pick the microphone you want to record with. Mozaik uses your current mic by default, and you can switch to another input from the dropdown.

Good to know: Open More options for the Show camera outside of browser toggle, which lets your camera image sit outside the browser window while you record.

Start and stop

Note the Maximum recording time shown in the window (for example, 15 minutes). When you're ready, press Start recording — your browser then asks which screen, window, or tab to share. Pick one to begin.

While recording, an on-screen bar lets you pause, restart, or stop, and the capture stops automatically when you reach the maximum length.

Where your recording lands

Good to know: Your screen recording drops straight into the scene in your project, ready to edit or run through your automated pipeline. It's also kept in Recordings, your Mozaik Cloud footage library, so you can reuse it later.

Built for repeatable video

Screen recording is made to feed a repeatable series: capture a fresh demo or walkthrough for each scene, drop it into the project, and let your automation assemble the finished video. The more tutorials and how-tos you produce, the more time this browser-based capture saves.
