Screen recorder with annotation and editing

Record a walkthrough

1. Choose a region, application window or full display to record.
2. Choose the inputs you need: system audio, microphone and camera bubble.
3. Perform the actions you want to show, then stop recording.
4. Edit and annotate the recording before exporting it.
5. Review the exported clip and share it through your team’s accepted process.

Choose only the capture area and audio sources needed for the explanation. Close unrelated windows and notifications before you begin.

Edit and annotate a screen recording

Lumshot’s recording editor supports cutting and reordering clips, speed changes, muting, voiceover, zoom and markers. Add text, arrows and blur to explain the visible steps, then adjust the background and export your video.

This is post-recording annotation and editing. The verified sources do not establish live drawing during capture, so this guide does not promise it. For still-image markup, see the screenshot annotation tool.

Screen recording for tutorials and bug reports

A bug that depends on timing

Record the actions that lead to a disappearing message or a layout change. Keep the starting conditions visible and add a note explaining the expected result. See the bug reporting workflow for the accompanying report.

A developer handoff

Show the sequence needed to reproduce the UI problem. Include version and environment details in the report yourself; the clip does not automatically contain diagnostics. Explore the related developer capture workflow.

A focused tutorial

Record one task, cut unnecessary pauses and use text or arrows to identify the controls involved. Add narration where useful, then review the complete export.

Review and share the finished recording

Show the steps needed to understand the issue. Check the full recording for private information, including frames before and after your main action, then inspect the exported result.

Export and share through your team’s accepted attachment process. Lumshot’s documented Jira integration covers screenshots; direct recording submission is not confirmed. Hosted video links and view analytics are also not confirmed.

Screen recording software questions

Is the screen recorder included in Free?

Recording and video editing require Pro. Free includes screenshots and annotations with a watermark. Compare Free and Pro.

Can I record on Windows and Mac?

Both platforms have downloads: Windows 10 (64-bit) or later and macOS 12 or later. Linux remains in development. Choose your desktop platform.

Can I add annotations while recording?

The verified workflow covers adding text, arrows and blur in the recording editor after capture. Live annotation during recording is not confirmed.
