Open your app, press Record, and share a link before your call ends. That’s the day-to-day flow with ScreenLink. Pick a screen, window, or tab; toggle your microphone and webcam; hit a hotkey to start. Pause when you need to collect thoughts, resume to continue. Stop, and ScreenLink can save locally or upload to the cloud and copy a shareable link to your clipboard. Choose full screen or a custom area, select frame rate and resolution, and decide whether to capture system audio. It runs the same on macOS, Windows, and Linux, so your setup is consistent across machines.

Create tutorials, product walkthroughs, and coding demos without extra tools. During or after recording, add annotations: draw arrows, highlight regions, blur sensitive details, and insert text labels or shapes to guide viewers. Drop in subtitles automatically with speech-to-text, then edit the transcript for accuracy. Trim awkward starts, cut out pauses, or stitch multiple clips into one clean narrative. Move your camera bubble, switch cameras, and balance mic and system audio for clarity. Export as MP4, WebM, or GIF, generate a thumbnail, and add a call-to-action so viewers know the next step.

Replace long feedback threads with quick videos. Product managers can narrate requirements while clicking through a prototype. Designers can walk through Figma flows and note decisions with on-screen markers. Engineers can reproduce a bug, capture console output, and attach the clip to a GitHub or Jira issue. Customer support can answer tickets with a short screencast and subtitles for accessibility. Share links with view permissions, set passwords or expirations, and collect timestamped comments. Post anywhere your team works—Slack, email, docs, or your knowledge base—so answers live where people look.

Customize and automate to fit your workflow. Use templates for recurring recordings like sprint updates or onboarding lessons. Map your own keyboard shortcuts, default inputs, and branding. Batch convert or upload via CLI, or self-host if you prefer to manage storage. Because ScreenLink is open source, you can extend it: build plugins, tweak the UI, contribute features, or adapt the recorder for your organization’s security and compliance needs. Whether you’re teaching, planning, coding, or creating content, ScreenLink turns screen capture into a repeatable, lightweight process you can actually stick with.
