Capture what you see
Capture an image of what you see on your computer screen with the software. Simply select any window or region that you want to capture, mark up your screenshot with a text box, arrow, highlight, or picture caption, and decide how you want to share it.



Record what you're doing
Select any window or region that you would like to record, and the program will capture everything that happens in that area. From simple mouse movements to a fully narrated tutorial, the tool records everything you see and do. The app videos are limited to five minutes for an instant, focused communication.
