[onorg]

Thx, i did not know, my laptop could do that, but how record many screenshots in 1 video, like recording a browsing?

[saramariegriffith]

Brilliant! Worked for me on Windows 10 HP.

[indibones]

Thanks for video but can anyone help: I can't get it to record for the maximum length, only up to 10 minutes or whatever the minimum setting is on. It also isn't asking me the option to say whether I am gaming or not but I don't think that will be a problem for what I want to do, however any advice would be much appreciated..
