Record your first video

Your first video can be short and unpolished. The link is ready the moment you stop, and you can trim mistakes afterwards.

Record

1. Select New video at the top right, then Screen and camera. On an empty library you can also select Start recording under Record your first video.
2. The first time, your browser asks to use your camera and microphone. Select Allow camera and microphone, then allow it in the browser's prompt.
3. Check the setup panel on the right. Screen + cam is chosen by default. Make sure the right Camera and Microphone are picked, and that the level meter moves when you speak.
4. Select Start recording, or press Alt+Shift+S (Option+Shift+S on a Mac).
5. Your browser asks what to share. Pick a tab, a window or your entire screen, then select Share.
6. A 3-second countdown runs. Press Space to start at once, or Esc to cancel.
7. Talk through what you want to show. To pause, select Pause in the controls or press Alt+Shift+K.
8. When you're done, select Stop and save or press Alt+Shift+S again.

Share

While the video saves, you can type a Title. Leave it empty and Vidler AI suggests one from what you said. The link is copied for you, and the video's page opens so you can paste the link anywhere: chat, email or a ticket.

Keep the recorder tab open until the upload finishes. If the connection drops, your recording stays on your computer and Vidler finishes the upload the next time you open it.

The getting started checklist

Once your library has a video, a Get started with Vidler checklist appears at the top: record your first video, share a link, install the Chrome extension, invite a teammate and try Script Studio. Each step ticks itself off as you do it. The Share a link step completes when someone watches your video. You can hide the checklist at any time.
