Frequently asked
How do I record a tutorial video?
To record a tutorial video, plan the steps you want to show, record your screen with microphone narration (optionally with a webcam bubble), then trim and annotate the result.
A quick outline keeps a tutorial clear: list the steps, open what you need beforehand, then record in one pass while you narrate. Adding a webcam bubble puts a face to the voice, which suits teaching and onboarding clips.
Sirvez is free and records a tab, your whole desktop, or your webcam. Its built-in editor adds pan and zoom keyframes, text annotations, arrows, and cursor highlighting, so you can draw attention to the right spot. There's no time limit, so longer tutorials are fine, and recordings save locally before you decide whether to share them.
