# Record Both Your Face and Screen Together
> Learn how to record your face and screen simultaneously using the Sendspark Chrome Extension with our step-by-step setup guide.
You can record your face and screen together with the Sendspark Chrome Extension. Pin the extension, launch it from your Chrome nav bar, select **Both** as your recording type, click Record, and choose what to share (entire screen, a window, or a Chrome tab). Click the Sendspark icon again to stop.
## 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.
To get started...
1. Install the [Sendspark Chrome Extension here](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sendspark-video-and-scree/blimjkpadkhcpmkeboeknjcmiaogbkph).
2. Make sure the Chrome Extension is [pinned on your Google Browser](/how-to-pin-a-chrome-extension)
3. Launch Sendspark by clicking the Sendspark icon on your Chrome nav bar
4. Select **Both** as your recording type
5. Click **Record** to start recording
6. 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.
7. Click the blue\*\*"share"\*\*button to start recording.
8. Once you have finished, click on the Sendspark icon again to stop recording

**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).

## Frequently asked questions
Launch Sendspark from the icon on your Chrome nav bar, select **Both** as your recording type, then click Record. You'll then choose what to share before recording starts.
You can share your Entire Screen (everything on your desktop), a Window (a single application like Chrome or Slack), or a Chrome Tab (just that tab). A Chrome Tab is typically recommended because it gives a more polished recording without exposing bookmarks or desktop folders.
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.
