# Screendesk Screen Recorder

Record your screen, capture screenshots, and share visual context with your team.

Record your screen, capture screenshots, and share the context behind your work with one link.

Use Screendesk Screen Recorder for walkthroughs, customer support, product feedback, and troubleshooting. Add webcam video and microphone narration to screen recordings, or capture browser activity with Instant Replay.

| [Screenshot](/screen-recorder/record-and-capture/screenshot.md)             | A visible page or selected area, with annotations and browser context.          |
| [Instant Replay](/screen-recorder/record-and-capture/instant-replay.md)     | Recent activity on a website you have enabled, without reproducing the steps.   |

## Get started

1. [Install the extension and sign in](/screen-recorder/getting-started/install-and-sign-in.md).
2. Choose your capture type and set up optional [camera](/screen-recorder/record-and-capture/screen-recording/webcam-and-camera-preview.md) and [microphone](/screen-recorder/record-and-capture/screen-recording/microphone-and-audio.md) access.
3. [Review and upload](/screen-recorder/review-and-share.md) your capture, then share its link.

You can keep unfinished captures as [local drafts](/screen-recorder/review-and-share/drafts.md) and return to them later.

Review [capture privacy and permissions](/screen-recorder/settings/capture-privacy-and-permissions.md) before capturing sensitive workflows.

## Work with your team

Share captures in messages and tickets, discuss them with [comments and mentions](/screen-recorder/debug-a-capture/collaboration.md), or send them to connected apps such as [Linear](/screen-recorder/send-to-apps/linear.md), [GitHub](/screen-recorder/send-to-apps/github.md), and [Jira](/screen-recorder/send-to-apps/jira.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.screendesk.io/screen-recorder/getting-started/screen-recorder.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
