Creating courses

Use the recording block in the Course Builder

1 minute read

The recording block lets you capture video, audio, and screen recordings directly inside your lesson—no extra tools needed. When you stop recording, a video block is automatically added to your lesson.

What you can do with the recording block

Use the recording block to:

  • Record a camera intro for a lesson
  • Walk through slides while you narrate
  • Demonstrate software step by step (screen recording)
  • Record camera + screen together for more engaging walkthroughs

Add a recording block

  1. Open the lesson you want to edit.
  2. Click Add block.
  3. Select Recording.

  1. Before recording, check your setup (camera, microphone, and browser permissions).

Tips for better recordings

  • Use camera + screen for tutorials and walkthroughs.
  • Close unnecessary tabs/windows before sharing your screen.
  • Do a quick test recording to confirm your audio is clear.
