Record a Specific Window

Capture a single app or window with CANVID. Ideal for clean, focused tutorials or demos without showing your entire desktop.

Use Window Capture in CANVID when you want to record a specific application without showing the rest of your desktop. This is perfect for focused tutorials or software demos where you only need to show one window.

If you want to record your entire screen—including multiple apps, browser tabs, and your desktop—choose Display Capture instead.

Resize Window

The Resize Window option is exclusive to Window Recording. You can select your preferred dimensions, and the app will automatically resize the target window to that size. This ensures a consistent, uniform look across all your recordings—great for tutorials that need a polished appearance.

Why Use Window Capture?

Keeps your screen recording clean and focused on one task
Prevents distractions from other windows or pop-ups
Ideal for tutorials involving a single application

If the selected window is minimized or closed during recording, the video may freeze or pause until the window is restored.

Dropdown menus within some applications may not be captured because they are technically treated as separate windows by your operating system. If you need to record dropdown interactions, we recommend switching to Display mode instead to ensure everything is captured smoothly.

Record Your Entire Screen

Record your full screen with CANVID, including all apps and browser tabs. Perfect for walkthroughs and multi-app workflows.

Pre-Recording Screen

Use CANVID’s Pre-recording Screen to easily set up your camera, mic, and system audio before screen recording.
