3. Plan Your First Project (Recommended)
Decide what you want to demonstrate (e.g., a product feature, a process)
Identify the key steps or points you want to highlight
Before recording, map out your intended clicks and keystrokes to minimize unnecessary inputs.
Each mouse click or keyboard input creates a new slide/step in your recording. Only perform actions essential to your content to create a streamlined recording that takes less time and effort to edit and publish.
Use slow, deliberate mouse movements between actions to create cleaner transitions.
Do a dry run before the actual recording to familiarize yourself with the process and identify potential stumbling points.
4. Recording Your Content
Navigate to the webpage where you'd like to start recording your activities.
Click the guided. extension icon in your browser
Select "Start Recording"
Perform the actions you identified in your plan
Click the extension icon again or use Ctrl + E to stop the recording. A new browser tab will open with the guided. studio editor.
