Capture input settings

About

The Capture recorder is designed for ease of use with optimal default settings. By default, the screen is set as the primary input and the camera as the secondary input, ensuring you can start recording immediately with high-quality settings.

If you need to customize these settings, each input (screen, camera, audio) has an arrow next to its icon. Clicking this arrow opens a drop-down menu displaying a list of connected devices, allowing you to select a different device for each input. Additionally, you have the option to record either your entire screen (full screen) or just a portion of it.

This flexibility ensures that you can tailor your recording setup to your specific needs while maintaining simplicity and accessibility.
