Screen and Browser Recording
You can record the audio that's playing on your computer. On most devices, you can capture either audio playing in a 2nd browser tab (alongside Genio Notes) or the audio playing on a specific screen. See below for a list of what's possible.
To record browser audio the content that you want to capture has to be open in a tab alongside Genio Notes.
To record Screen Audio you can have your content open outside of your browser. Please note that recording a specific application or window is not supported.

Click the Record button (Recording won't start immediately)

If you want to capture what you are contributing then pick the option with '& Mic'

2. Tell Genio Notes what you want to Record:
Once you've selected a Recording Option, your browser will show a dialog where you can pick what to capture:
Select 'Chrome Tab' 'Edge Tab' or 'Your Entire Screen'
(see above for what's supported on your device)
- Select the specific tab or screen where your audio, video, or live stream will be played.
Important - even if there is only one tab or screen listed, you have to click to select it!
- Tick the 'Share audio' checkbox (bottom left).
- Click 'Share'
- Recording will then start immediately

Info - If you see a message saying 'Unable To Record Screen Audio' then you most likely haven't correctly gone through each of the 4 steps above.
Info - Pause Recording - Need to pause recording? Just press the ⏸ button! Find out more here: https://help.genio.co/article/287-pause-recording
3. Take Your Notes:
Navigate back to your Genio tab to start taking notes on the browser audio.
- Or try splitting your screen so you can see both Genio and your video or live stream side-by-side.
The browser will display a banner stating that you are sharing audio with Genio:

DON'T press STOP on this banner or Genio won't be able to record the audio for you.
Info - Other people in the session will not be notified that you are recording.
