Step 3

A dialogue box will appear. As marked in the image below, one can choose:
1) a folder to house the recording or “session” and name the session. If you choose not to name the session it will simply bear the date and timestamp of when the recording was made.

2) The type of presentation to record: a PowerPoint presentation; a screen capture; audio/video recording using a webcam and microphone; or an audio/video using a webcam to accompany a PowerPoint or screen capture.
