You can’t switch and combine different windows. If you select a specific application or window, you can only record from that window.

You can stop and restart the recording at any time to make adjustments, take a break, or skip uninteresting events.

The selected portion of the screen is shared, and Stream is ready to capture whatever appears once you start recording. There’s no way for an Office 365 tenant to remove this option from Stream.įigure 3: Selecting which part of the screen to capture To create a record, select Record screen from the Create menu (Figure 1).
