Share Options

While screen sharing, you may want to quickly turn on desktop sound to share a video and optimize for video sharing, which increases the screen share frame rate, making any presentations smoother at the cost of some resolution. In the property inspector, you can choose which options this action turns on or off.

Record

With Record, stat or stop a local or a cloud recording. You can also choose if the action starts and stops the recording, or if it starts and pauses an active recording.
