Have no idea about recording your screen? Click the download button at left to download FonePaw and follow the guide below.

Step 1. Launch FonePaw and Click Video Recorder

To record your screen activities, launch FonePaw and choose the Video Recorder feature.

Step 3. Adjust Webcam & Audio Settings

If you want to record your face with the screen at the same time, click to turn on the webcam.

You can click the ON/OFF buttons to decide whether or not to record sounds from the system or microphone. You can also click the drop-down arrow icon and then choose Soundcheck to check the volume. Drag the slider to adjust the volume.

Step 4. Click REC to Start Recording

During recording, you can see a floating panel showing some basic information of your recording. You can also do some simple operations on it.

Step 5. Stop Recording

Click the red rectangle button to stop recording. After that, you can preview, trim(optional), and save the recording to your computer.
