Details

  • When recording a video, the Screen Recorder Tool doesn't capture sound.
  • The Screen Recorder Tool uses Unity's video player for the video preview. If your operating system is Windows, you might see WindowsVideoMedia warnings in the Editor console. This is because the video is not processed.
  • If the entire video contains a static image, the video only contains one frame and the length of the video will be zero.
  • On Chrome OS, you can only capture the video from the sandboxed app which is the one you install manually via adb or Unity. You can't capture video from the desktop or from built-in apps.
