- Click on the Start Recording icon (red circle).
Note: A countdown timer will appear before recording.
Tip: Make use of the Pause Recording icon (red circle) to pause between slides/delivering content so that it ensures the recording is efficient. It can also ensure you do not need to finish the recording in one long take.
Note: If a mistake was made, there is no way to redo a certain part. You can either delete the recording by clicking on the Cancel recording icon (x icon) and start again or cut out that incorrect part via Editing.
