For specific use cases—such as handling customer claims and preventing fraud—you may want to remove this countdown.

How to disable the countdown

  1. Open Screendesk.

  2. Go to Account Settings > Screen Recorder.

  3. Toggle .

Your recordings will now start instantly when you click Record Screen.
