Screen Recording
Recording modes
- Record Tab — captures the current tab including its audio
- Record Desktop — opens Chrome’s screen picker; choose a monitor, window, or browser tab
Microphone
Toggle the mic on in the popup before starting — or use the mic button in the recording overlay. Mic audio is merged directly into the video file.
First use: Glitch opens a permission page in a new tab. Grant mic access there — the tab closes automatically once granted.
Live annotation tools
During recording, use the toolbar at the bottom of the overlay:
| Tool | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Pen | P |
| Arrow | A |
| Rectangle | R |
| Text | T |
| Blur | B |
| Undo | Ctrl+Z |
| Color picker | click the swatch |
Annotations fade out after 3 seconds and are burned into the recording video.
Stopping
Click Stop in the recording overlay, or click the Glitch icon and choose Stop Recording.
