Draw in the screen or add a board section

You can draw anywhere on your screen as you record your video. You can also divide your screen so that you can record yourself side by side with a designated place for your other effects. 

How to draw in the screen

With the pen effect you’re able to use your mouse or finger to draw on your screen.

How to add a board

Boards are a useful space you can use to help organize other effects, like text or photos. When you add a board, you’re able to adjust how much of your screen the board takes up.

Tip: If you want viewers to focus on the audio of your video, adjust the board so that it takes up your entire screen. Learn more about how to make an audio focused video.
