Key takeaways

  • Recording face and screen together uses the Sendspark Chrome Extension, so install and pin it first.
  • Select Both as your recording type, then click Record.
  • You can share your Entire Screen, a specific Window, or a single Chrome Tab. A Chrome Tab is recommended for the most polished result.
  • Because it’s a Chrome Extension, you cannot drag your face bubble off the Chrome window, so you can’t record yourself over apps like PowerPoint.

  1. Select what you would like to share. You can choose between:
  • Entire Screen - will record everything on your desktop.
  • Window - will record only a specific application, like Chrome, Slack, or something else.
  • Chrome Tab- will only record what is on the specific chrome tab. We typically recommend this option because you get a more “polished” recording. You’re not sharing any bookmarks on chrome or folders on your desktop.

Please Note: Because this is a Chrome Extension, there are some limitations. One is that you will not be able to drag your face bubble off of your Chrome window (so you cannot record yourself over certain apps such as PowerPoint).

Once you’ve finished, click the Sendspark icon again to stop recording.
Not with the Chrome Extension. Because it’s a browser extension, you can’t drag your face bubble off the Chrome window, so you can’t record yourself over apps like PowerPoint.
