Feature Friday: Visla Makes Screen Recording Easy

By Mark Horiuchi

Screen recording doesn’t have to be a cumbersome experience. This Feature Friday, Visla reveals an upgrade that revolutionizes the screen recording game: the addition of speaker notes. This feature keeps your recording streamlined and allows for seamless integration between your talking points and the recording itself. No more toggling between windows!

The Challenge of Screen Recording

Capturing a presentation or a product demo often involves juggling multiple windows and tabs. Whether you’re a marketer, a training professional, or have to present something at work, you probably know how tedious it can be to switch back and forth between your talking points and the recording screen. Time gets wasted, and it shows in the final product.
