AnyDesk allows you to remotely access another Windows, Mac, iPhone, or Android device from any location as long as both devices have AnyDesk installed. Another feature of the program is that you can also record your screen. This can be very valuable, as the recordings can be used as training materials and much more.
For example, if you work for a computer support company, then having recordings of your support sessions can help in training new employees and also as a record of your sessions. But, how do you record in AnyDesk?
Open “Recording”
Launch the AnyDesk application on your computer. Click on the three vertical dots that represent your settings menu. In the menu on the left side of the screen, click on the ‘Recordings’ tab.
Unlock Recording Settings
First, you will need to click on the option to unlock the record settings at the top of the screen in the red button. Once the recording has been unlocked, you will have the record button on your main screen. You can also choose to enable one of the three different automatic options.
– The first option is ‘Start Session Recording When a Session Starts,’ which will enable the global recording option.
– The next choice is ‘Record Incoming Sessions,’ and enabling this option will automatically record any incoming sessions.
– Then the last option is ‘Record Outgoing Sessions, ’ which, once enabled, automatically starts recording any outgoing sessions.
Record Sessions Using the ‘Record’ Button
If you don’t want to set automatic recordings, you can also choose to record a specific session or start in the middle of a particular session. There is a way to do that. You simply press on the record button when you want to start recording and again when you are done.
Record Your AnyDesk Sessions Easily
As you can see, recording your AnyDesk sessions is very simple to set up. If you use the above steps, you can set up your AnyDesk to record all your sessions or only some of them.
