Recording

The menu bar icon

Control a recording from the menu bar while the recorder bar is hidden.

While the recorder is open or a recording is running, a Screen Motion icon appears in the menu bar. It turns into a stop icon while you record.

Its menu shows what you can do right now:

  • Start Recording, once you've chosen something to record.
  • Cancel Countdown, during the countdown.
  • Stop Recording and Pause or Resume, while recording.
  • Show Recorder Bar or Hide Recorder Bar.
  • Close Recorder, when you're not recording.
