Record must-see webinars or streams even if you're away from your computer. Just choose the date and time for the video capture to start and finish.

Step 1. Download and install the program

Download the installation file and install the program on your PC or Mac.

Step 2. Go to the scheduler

Click the Preferences button on the sidebar.

In the Preferences dialog box, open the Scheduler tab and then select Schedule recording.

Step 3. Add a scheduled task

Click on Add Task, and you’ll be given options to set the date, start and end times, and title for your automated recording.

When you’re done, click Create. Next, click the OK button, and your recording will run at the scheduled time.

The screen recorder must be running at the scheduled time to start recording. To ensure this happens, enable the app to launch with your computer. Go to Preferences, in the General section click More, and check the Launch application at startup box.

After the recording is finished, the file will be saved in .mkv format in the output folder with your other screen recordings.
