You can’t control other aspects of your computer aside from the Snagit tools in front of you. Instead, you’re in some sort of preview mode. This includes enabling the webcam, choosing its position and shape, whether you wish to record the entire screen or merely a section of it, along with options to capture the cursor, a connected microphone, and the system audio.Ĭlicking on the big red capture button doesn’t actually start the recording though. And you’ll find a good number of useful controls. Whether you’re taking a photo or a video, it’s all done through there. Once you’ve enabled all the features you need (like access to the webcam, being able to record the system audio, that sort of thing), you control Snagit from keyboard shortcuts or if you’re on a Mac a convenient shortcut in the Menu Bar. You’ll find setting up Snagit to be extremely straightforward, and almost identical to Camtasia. Perfect recording of both audio and video, but no video editing capabilities.Enabling the right settings to allow Snagit to capture what it needs is a simple matter of going through this list (Image credit: TechSmith)
