So let’s review – how do you capture an image? Hotkey or + on sun Set crosshairs & click to get capture options This is meant to be quick and easy, not perfect! You get a 3-2-1 countdown, and the recording process starts, including the internal microphone that picks up your audio (if you don’t want audio, be really quiet, turn off Pandora/Spotify, tell your cube neighbors to hold it down…)

Video Capture - Considerations

• Select something you would like to share via video • Practice walking through it • Capture recording

– Recall hotkeys if you enabled them – Use Pause/Stop toolbar

When you’re ready, begin your capture, recalling hot keys & pressing the stop or pause buttons.
