Replay Video Capture – recording hints - 102

Using the Google Chrome Canary browser

We recommend using the Google Chrome Canary browser for recording instead of your regular browser. It is not a good idea to use your regular browser for recording especially if you are having multiple tabs or you need to disable hardware acceleration. Canary browser is a better way to record videos from your screen.

Besides avoiding issues with your regular browser, Replay Video will be able to record all video using the enhanced recording features of the Background mode including UHD and PIP recording without the need to disable the acceleration.

Step 1 – Download Canary browser

Download Canary browser from https://www.google.com/intl/en_pk/chrome/canary/
In the Canary downloading window click Download Chrome Canary. Then click ChromeSetup.exe in the left lower side of the window to begin the installation. Installation  only takes a few minutes.

Step 2 – Create Canary shortcut

When installation is finished Replay Video displays the message “Chrome Canary installed. Click OK to create Canary shortcut for recording”. This makes our Canary shortcut and icon dedicated for recording. When you open the Properties of our Canary shortcut you must see the comment “Google Chrome Canary browser for recording”.

If the message above is not shown when Canary installation is finished, click the Help button (“?”) on Replay Video main screen, then click Quick Help, Quick Guide, Create Canary shortcut. You can also create the Canary shortcut for recording in Settings.

If a Canary icon was placed in your taskbar by the Canary installer delete this icon.

Step 3 – Open Canary browser

Open the “?” Help button on Replay Video main screen then click Open Canary browser. You can also use Settings, Tools, Google Chrome Canary browser, Open Chrome Canary.

The two options above guaranty that the opened Canary is the Canary you should be using for recording. This browser will not require disabling the hardware acceleration. The  Canary icon on the desktop can also be used if this is the “Google Chrome Canary browser for recording” created by Replay Video as shown above.
