# Video recording

With Capture you can create videos and share it with other teammates or send them to your tools which you use for a daily work with your team.

Capture gives you an option to record:

* entire screen,
* app,
* browser window,
* specific tab.

{% hint style="info" %}
When recording a specific tab, only the contents displayed in that tab will be captured in the video. However, it's important to note that native HTML selects - which rely on the browser's native operating system UI - and popup contents will not be visible in tab recordings.

If you need to capture interaction with these elements, simply select the "record entire screen" option instead. This feature also enables you to record video outside of the browser
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please note that Capture cannot capture technical information of user interaction with any program outside of the browser.
{% endhint %}

In Capture there are 2 ways to start recording:

* from [the dashboard](https://app.usecapture.io/dashboard/v),
* with [the Capture extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/capture-screen-recording/jpcandanmpaeclcpfhadgflmlbhdehjg).

If you prefer not to install the Chrome extension but still want to record a video, no worries! You can easily do so from the dashboard. To initiate video recording from the dashboard, simply click on the 'Record a video' button if your dashboard has no existing captures.

Alternatively, you can access the 'Capture' button located on the header toolbar whenever you're ready to start recording directly from the app. Once the button is clicked, you will be prompted to select the content you wish to record.

{% hint style="info" %}
Kindly note that when you record a video without the extension, no technical details or steps will be available.
{% endhint %}

However, when using the extension, you can access all the performed steps during the capturing process, alongside the video.

Moreover, the extension automatically collects system information and technical details, such as [**console logs** and **network information**](/help-articles/features/capturing-technical-details.md), which are particularly useful for developers as it allows for faster identification of the root cause of a bug🐞.

No matter how the video is created, you can save and and easily share it with your teammates if you are **signed in** to the app.
