Record a custom area

Record a selected area of a browser tab instead of the whole page.

Enabling tab area recording

1. Open the Screenity popup and select Tab area.
2. Turn on Set an area to record in. A selection box appears on the page.

This option needs Chrome 110 or later. On an older version the popup shows "Custom area recording disabled" and "Update Chrome version to 110+". Tab area is also grayed out on pages where tab recording is not possible, with the tooltip "Tab recording is disabled on this page".

Setting the area to record in

1. Drag the box to move it and drag its handles to resize it. You can also type a width (W) and height (H) in the popup.
2. Select Start recording and confirm Chrome's sharing prompt. The recording is limited to the box.

To include the tab's sound, keep Include system audio turned on in the popup's three-dot menu. It is on by default. Chrome's sharing prompt also decides whether tab audio is shared, so make a short test recording first.
