Feel free to send us a message if you have any questions, suggestions or encounter any technical issues. We’d love to hear your feedback!
Hope you all are doing well and staying safe during these challenging times. It has been nearly 3 months since we posted the response to the COVID-19.
From April 3rd to July 10th
We have been providing unlimited access to and unlimited storage of screen recordings to all users for free since April to help remote working and teaching. The original plan was to reinstate feature limits on July 1st. Though the economy is reopened gradually in most of the world, some sectors are still hard hit. We decided to extend the offer for another 10 days. Limits will be reinstated after July 10th.
After July 10th
If you’re on the free plan and have saved more than 20 videos, your access to more- previously saved videos will be limited after July 10th. Please upgrade to the professional plan to gain unlimited access if you’d like to continue enjoying the service, or download your videos before they are locked if you prefer not to upgrade now.
New Features in 4.3.6
We have spent a lot of effort in the development of new features in the past few months. Today, we’re releasing a new version 4.3.6. What’s coming with this update? First of all, we’d like to introduce the carefully redesigned popup menu, a more user-friendly and easy-to-navigate interface, allowing you to quickly switch between screen recording and screen capture when needed.
You can set either Record or Capture as the default menu based on your primary usage scenario by clicking the Options button then changing the related setting.
Next are the major changes made on the screenshot functionality. Now you can:
Capture a local HTML page
Capture entire screen or app window after delay
Directly copy a screenshot when capturing a selected area
Skip annotating for quick saving
Select an area or annotate a screenshot with pen on touch screen
Add timestamp and page URL to a screenshot
Wondering how to enable some of these functions? Simply click on the Options button in the lower right corner of the popup menu! You will find various settings there. Check them out and customize the extension to your own preference 😀
We have also made some improvements on the recording feature and will keep working on more. Stay tuned!
Feel free to send us a message by clicking the Feedback button in the lower left corner of the popup menu if you have any questions, suggestions or any other issues.
We’re excited to announce that we’re bringing a new icon for the extension with this update! We have made several major improvements on some key features recently. Check them out below!
