Support & Learning

When preparing to record a tutorial, I want to capture both the main screen and the PPT window simultaneously. Why is there no "Add Source" button on the screen recording control bar?

Multi-source recording requires the recording engine to work under a multi-track architecture. If the current screen recording preset is in the default "Merged Track Mode", the multi-source control icon will automatically be hidden and disabled.

[Operation] ① On the screen recording startup control bar, switch the recording mode from "Merged Track" to "Multi-Track Mode"; ② After switching, the recording bar will display the multi-source icon. Click the down arrow on the right side of the camera or microphone device selection box to expand the drop-down panel and click "Add source"; ③ In the popped-up source management panel, click the "+" sign in the Screen or Microphone modules respectively to configure different capture windows and audio channels (system sound is limited to a single source).

[Verification] The title of the source management pop-up window shows the corresponding number added (e.g., Screen Sources (2)), and after closing the window, a toast prompt will appear on the screen to confirm it has taken effect.
