Screencasting

Piktochart Video gives you the ability to record your screen to create a screencast video. This could be extremely useful if you want to record a video of yourself while you share your screen or Piktochart Visual with your audience, or if you just want to record your screen and a voiceover without using your webcam. 

To use Piktochart Video's screencast feature, click on the  Start Recording option in the dashboard. 

Then, follow these steps to start recording your screen:

1

Allow your camera and microphone to be accessed by Piktochart Video by clicking 'Allow' in the pop-up window.

2

Select the option that you would like to record (  Video, Video + Screen, or just  Screen).

3

If you chose  Video + Screen or Screen, then you will be able to select if you'd like to record your entire screen, a window, or a specific browser tab, and then click  Share.

4

You'll then need to go back to the Piktochart Video tab and click on the red  Record button at the bottom to start the recording process:

5

Once you want to stop sharing your screen, click on the  Stop Sharing option that appears on the screen you are recording. 

6

You can then go back to the Piktochart Video tab again to  Preview your screen recording on the bottom left, and then save the video (click  Use Video) or choose to re-record (click  Record Again).

7

If you decide to use the video, it will be uploaded and rendered onto your Piktochart Video Dashboard where you'll be able to edit it as well as the transcript if you recorded your voice.

Tip: you can export your screen recording by clicking on Export Video at the top of the Editor, and once your screen recording gets saved as a Clip, then you can download it!
