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.
You can record a single browser tab, an entire browser window, or your full screen. This includes other open apps or windows if you choose the “Entire Screen” option.
You can record videos up to 15 minutes long. Videos longer than 2 minutes are automatically saved in 2-minute chunks to ensure smooth performance and upload.
Click the Hexus Chrome Extension icon, select “Record a video”, choose what to record, and the recording will begin after a short countdown. Once you’re done, click “Stop Recording” from the Chrome Extension toolbar.
The Video Recording mode helps you clearly demonstrate workflows, product features, or on-screen processes without needing complex tools. It’s perfect for:
  • Product demos and tutorials
  • Customer support or training material
  • Quickly sharing visual feedback or bug reports
  • Creating personalized walkthroughs for users or clients
By recording your screen directly from the Chrome Extension, you can save time, maintain clarity, and instantly share content—all from your browser, with no extra software needed.
The video recording mode is available starting from the ‘Starter’ plan and is included in all higher-tier plans as well.
