- Hey everyone, Alec here with VEED and in this video
I'm going to be showing you how to record your screen
online for free.
So, to get started, we're just going to head over
to the Chrome Web Store.
So once we're on the Chrome Web Store,
all we're going to do is just search for the extension,
the screen recorder, which is called VEED.
So we're going to search for VEED, V-E-E-D.
And now, as you can see, this extension right here
shows up, Screen and Web Camera Recorder plus Editor,
we click on it, and now we're just going to click
on 'Add to Chrome'.
And as we can see, this pops up and we just say, 'Yes'
we want it to be able to record our screen basically,
click 'Add extension',
and now, as you can see, it's added to our Chrome toolbar
in the extensions right here at the top.
And then, what we're going to do is follow this guide
right here, and we're basically just going to click
on the puzzle and pin the screen recorder
so we can always see it, and it's always available.
What this allows us to do is basically just begin recording
our screen whenever we want to.
So now, let's say I'm reading a blog post
and I want to do a quick presentation about this blog post.
So, all I'm going to do, once I want to begin recording
the screen, is just click on the extension
in the top right of my screen.
So I'm going to click on the VEED recorder, click on it.
And as you can see now, this pops up right here.
In the top left of your screen you might get a couple
of pop-ups asking for access to your microphone
and to your webcam,
and you want to allow both of these,
just so the VEED recorder can record your screen
and also you at the same time, if you wish to.
So, as you can see here, we've got a few options
we can choose to only record the webcams.
So this is just if we want to give a presentation
just of ourselves.
We can also record the screen and webcams,
so both at the same time.
So I could be talking and showing my face at the same time
that I'm showing the blog post that I'm reading.
And then we can choose to solely record our screen.
So this is just the screen and not seeing my face at all.
Just below this here we have the microphone
and camera options.
So here, we go ahead and choose the microphone
that we want to add.
So I'm just going to click and it will scroll through them.
And then same for the camera.
Once I'm happy with both of the features that I've selected,
I'm just going to go ahead and click on 'Start Recording',
and as you can see here I just need to select the screen
that I want to record
and I'm going to choose to record my entire screen,
and then click 'Share'.
So now we've got this three second countdown and bam,
we are now screen recording.
As you can see here, we have a counter on the left side,
showing how many seconds we've been recording.
Here is my face right here,
and I can just click and drag this and place it anywhere
on the screen.
I can move around in my browser as if I would normally,
I can also click to open a new tab.
And then on the left here, we have a bunch of cool features.
So for example, if I'm giving a presentation
and I quickly want to emphasize on a specific section
of my screen, I just select the pencil
and then circle what I want to emphasize on.
So here we're focusing on Instagram and as you can see
I'm just circling Instagram, I can circle running,
I can make a box around start-up.
So as you can see, we've got this awesome pencil
and it slowly disappears after a while.
So this is great for when you're just quickly
giving your presentations and sharing your screen.
Then here, we've got these sticky note.
So if I just click on this, we can add a sticky note
and I can type in anything I want.
So just like this, and then I can add as many sticky notes
as I need to, and this is just like quick reminders.
So for example, I could be covering chapter one
of my presentation, and then I just leave a few comments
for people that are going to watch the videos.
I can click, 'See notes'
and I can just delete the notes that I don't want.
And then also we have this awesome tool,
if I just click on 'Magic',
we've got this lovely confetti that appears on the screen,
and this is just a little bit of fun VEED have added
to the screen recorder.
And then one of my favorite parts is that I can quickly
change and resize the size of my camera.
So as you can see here, I am small and in the side.
If I make this, I'm now half of the screen
and then I can also go completely full screen
and then to go back out from full screen,
I'm just going to click on 'Show screen' again
and then I can also just close this, just like so,
just to record my screen
and then I can do 'Show camera' again.
And then once I'm happy with my screen recording
I'm just going to click on 'Stop', just like this.
And then my screen recording is rendered.
And then once it's finished rendering,
which should only take a few seconds,
I can then go ahead and quickly share this screen recording
just by copying the link and sending it to someone.
And that is how I can share my presentation.
So as you can see there are multiple different use cases
for this.
So, I can quickly make a screen recording,
share it with some of my students, share it with a friend,
share it with a work colleague.
And then if I think that I made a few mistakes
during my presentation,
I can just click on 'Edit the video',
and then quickly just edit it within VEED's online recorder.
But if I want to download it to my computer,
I can just click on 'Download as MP4'
that way I could take the screen recording and go ahead
and upload it to YouTube.
And that is how to record your screen online for free
using VEED's Screen Recorder.
