Fullscreen Recording

How it works

Fullscreen mode captures everything on a single display. If you have multiple monitors, you pick which one to record before starting.

When recording starts, non-recording displays dim slightly so you can confirm you're capturing the right screen.

When to use it

• Product demos where you want to show the full desktop
• Walkthroughs that involve switching between multiple windows
• Any recording where window switching is part of the flow

Tips

• Close notifications or enable Focus mode before recording to avoid popups landing in your video.
• Hide your dock if you don't want it in frame (System Settings → Desktop & Dock → Automatically hide and show the Dock).
• ShipClip records at your display's native resolution. If you need a specific output size, you can downscale during export.
