In CANVID, you can record your screen with audio from various sources. This guide will show you how to allow the app to record the screen with computer audio on Windows or Mac.

Step 1:

Run the app, then select your preferred capture type: Window or Display.

Note for Mac users:
The first time you use the app, you may see a system permission prompt asking to allow the app to record your screen and audio. Click Allow to enable recording.

Select "Allow" when the app requests for the system private window picker to be bypassed.

Step 2:

In the Prerecording window, click the System Audio button located at the lower-right corner.

Clicking the System Recording button until the label changes to "Record System Audio"

You’ll have two options:

  • No System Audio: The app will not record system sound.
  • Record System Audio: The app will capture your computer’s sound.

Tip:
Before recording, play any audio or music on your computer. You should see an audio level meter move, which means CANVID is detecting your system audio correctly.
