Screen and Browser Recording
You can record the audio that's playing on your computer or capture a video of your screen. On most devices, you can capture a video and record the audio either playing in a 2nd browser tab (alongside Genio Notes), in a specific window, or on a specific screen. See below for a list of what's possible.
Important – Video capture is only currently available to certain organisations. If you don't see this option, it will not be available to you.
To record from a Browser Tab the content that you want to capture has to be open in the same browser and alongside Genio Notes.
To record from an Entire Screen, you can have your content open outside of your browser.
To record from a Window, you can have your content open in a separate window or browser.

1. Select your Recording Option:
-
Click the Record button (Recording won't start immediately)
- Select 'Audio' to capture just the audio from a specific Browser, Screen or Window. Or choose 'Video' to include a visual recording too.
If you want to capture what you are contributing, then pick the option with '& Mic'
Note – The 'Video' option records both the audio and visuals from your chosen screen/tab

Important – Video capture is only currently available to certain organisations. If you don't see this option, it will not be available to you.
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' 'Window' or 'Your Entire Screen'
(see above for what's supported on your device)
- Select the specific tab, window 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 you can split 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.
