Method 1.

Launch Filmora on your device and locate the Screen Recorder option directly from the startup window to begin instantly.

Method 2.

Enter the editing interface and click File > Record Media. From the expanded menu, choose between Record PC Screen, Record Voiceover, or Record from Webcam.

Method 3.

Access the top toolbar and click the Media option. Under this section, select from Record PC Screen, Record Voiceover, or Record from Webcam.

Step 1. Select the Recording Mode

After opening the screen recorder, choose your preferred recording mode from Area Recording, Full Screen Recording, or Window Recording. If you want to record only a specific part of the screen, select the Area Recording option. Click and drag the cursor to define the custom recording area according to your preference.

Step 2. Select Full Screen Recording Mode

To capture the entire display, choose the Full Screen Recording mode. Filmora highlights available screens with a light green overlay to help you identify the recording display. Click the desired screen to confirm your selection.

Step 3. Enable Window Recording Mode

For recording a specific application window, select the Window Recording mode. Move the mouse cursor across open windows, and Filmora will automatically detect the target window based on the cursor position and window hierarchy.

Step 4. Configure Recording Settings

Expand the settings panel from the right side to customize options like frame rate, recording quality, countdown timer, and mouse click effects before starting the capture process. Once all settings are configured, click the Start Recording button to begin capturing your screen activity.

During long recordings, you can now add markers in real time (e.g., press M) to flag key moments. After importing the recording to the timeline, those markers appear automatically so you can quickly jump to the parts to keep, cut, or refine—boosting both presentation and editing efficiency.

Step 5. Customize Camera Display Options

If the Camera option is enabled, a floating camera preview window will appear on the screen. Hover over the preview to access display tools like background blur or background removal. After selecting the preferred effect, press the Start Recording button to start recording with the camera overlay enabled. Once the recording is completed, press the Stop button.

Step 6. Preview Recorded Video and Export

Once the video is successfully recorded, it will be automatically imported to the editing timeline. Make basic or advanced edits with Filmora and save the final results using the Export button.
