You can use the Video Recording mode on the Chrome Extension to capture screen activity as a single video. Choose to record a browser tab, a specific window, or your entire screen to create clear and focused video content.
Hexus Tip: Keep your videos concise and focused (ideally under 2 minutes) to retain viewer attention.

Best practices

  • For videos longer than 2 minutes, the Chrome Extension automatically records in 2-minute chunks to ensure performance and reliability.
  • Close unnecessary tabs to avoid distractions and ensure smooth performance.
  • Test before sharing to confirm audio, video quality, and what’s visible.
  • Use a headset if recording with voice for clearer audio.
