Main Interface after Some Screens Recordings

In the initial point, it has selected the full area of your screen. It will start recording as soon as you press the BIG Red REC button. There are four important buttons on the main window as well.
- Speaker: Turn on/off system sound during recording. If you turn off the system sounds won’t be recorded
- Mic: Turn on/off mic sound during recording. If you turn off the sounds from the mic won’t be recorded

After you recorded some screens, It will show you all of the recordings on the main window. Topped one is the newest one. You can view the screenshots & screen recordings by switching between two tabs which are Videos & Screenshots.
