You can record your screen from Drime, without installing anything. The video is saved to the folder you choose in your Drive.

## Record your screen

1. Above the file list, click **Create**, then **Screen recording**.

2. Under **Recording mode**, choose **Full Screen**, **Window** or **Tab**.

   Turn on **Microphone** to record your voice, and **System audio** to record the sound of your computer. If Drime has no access to your microphone yet, click **Allow microphone access**, then choose your microphone in the list, or **No microphone**.

3. Click **Start Recording**, then choose what to share in your browser's window.

4. Use the recording bar to pause, resume, mute the microphone or stop.

   **Select a destination folder for the recording.** You can also create one with **New Folder**.
