Remove countdown before recording starts

By default, when a user starts recording by clicking Record Screen, a 5-second countdown appears before the recording begins.

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 Disable Countdown Timer.

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