Recorder app overview

The recorder app is a compact HUD for preparing, starting, and controlling a capture without covering the workspace you are presenting.

Recording workflow

1. Choose a screen, window, or custom screen region.
2. Prepare microphone, system audio, camera, countdown, and teleprompter options.
3. Start recording and use the floating recorder bar for live controls.
4. Stop the capture to finalize its tracks and open the project in the editor.

The HUD keeps capture sources and recording controls in one compact window.

Separate media tracks

Beam records the screen, webcam, microphone, and system audio as separate available tracks. The editor can then adjust or disable supported tracks without modifying the original capture.

Projects

Use Open a project to return to an existing Beam project or create a new project before recording. Finished sessions remain associated with their project for later editing.
