How can you record one window and hear the right audio?
Make a scene, the layout OBS records. Add only the demo window and the microphone or other audio source you intend to include. Look at the preview and audio meter before recording.
Capture options depend on the operating system. macOS needs screen recording permission to capture a window, and microphone permission if you narrate. Use Start Recording for a local recording.
Where does the recording go?
OBS writes to the recording folder you choose. Its standard guide recommends MKV for a recording that might stop unexpectedly. If your editor needs MP4, OBS can remux it, which puts the recording into a different file container.
Keep enough disk space. Play back a short sample before recording the complete demo. Plan captioning and a viewer link separately if you need them.
How can you check the capture layout on paper?
Sketch a pretend app window, a private message outside it and an audio meter. Use no real screen, microphone or stream.
- Choose the sourcesCircle only the fictional app window and the intended narration. Mark the private message outside the capture.
- Write the playback checkWrite what you should see and hear in the saved file, including the task’s confirmation. Note where you would add and check captions before sharing.
