Screen Recording
Press Ctrl+Shift+Q. Select a region. Hit record. Quick Gen captures your screen with optional microphone audio — perfect for bug reports, quick demos, and async communication.
The capture overlay appears. Draw a rectangle around the region you want to record. A control bar shows up where you can toggle your microphone and select which audio device to use.
A pulsing red border outlines the recorded region so you always know what's being captured. Click stop when you're done. The recording is saved to your chosen folder as MP4 or WebM.
Record any rectangular area of your screen — a single window, a portion of a page, or your entire display. You pick the boundaries.
Toggle mic audio on or off. Choose which microphone or audio device to use from a dropdown — useful if you have multiple inputs.
Recordings save as MP4 (best compatibility) or WebM (smaller files). Both formats work in browsers, Slack, Discord, and most video players.
A pulsing red border shows exactly what's being recorded. You always know when recording is active and what area is captured.
Recordings stay on your machine. Quick Gen doesn't upload anything anywhere. Share the file however you want — your recordings, your choice.
Just like screenshot capture, recording starts with a global hotkey. No need to open a window, navigate a menu, or configure anything first.
Bug reports — reproduce the issue, record it, attach the video to your ticket. Ten seconds from hotkey to done.
Quick demos — show a colleague how something works without scheduling a call. Record, send, move on.
Async communication — replace a wall of text with a 30-second video. Narrate with your mic while you walk through the steps on screen.
