Computer screen with multiple windows open, but only one is being recorded.

Single window recording

Isolate your screen and audio recording to a single window without the distraction of anything else popping in to steal the focus.

Worried about distracting notifications showing up in your recording? Put the worries aside, Camtasia’s flexible recorder blocks out the noise and only records what you want. Choose a specific window in the Recorder and only record what is related to the window. This includes any window application audio. Able to resize window recordings during editing without any loss of quality.
