Create a video and share the link
Click the SwitchDesk icon in the menu bar and choose “Create Video”. Pick Screen, Window or Area, choose your microphone, camera and this Mac’s audio, and press “Start Recording”. When you press Stop, the share link is already on your clipboard and the video uploads behind it. Share links are unlisted: anyone with the link can watch.
Pick what to record
Open the picker
Menu bar → “Create Video”. The “Create a Video” panel opens.
Choose Screen, Window or Area
- Screen records a whole display, with a live preview of each one.
- Window records one window. The list includes windows on every desktop.
- Area: press “Select Area…”, then drag out exactly the part of the screen you want. Pick “Freeform”, “Square video” or “Widescreen video (16:9)”, move or resize the box, and press “Record This Area”.
Start
Press “Start Recording”, or double-click a preview. A short countdown runs first; click it to cancel.
Drag out exactly the part of the screen you want in the video. You can move and resize it before recording starts.
Your camera bubble records too — drag it anywhere inside the area.
That window is on another desktop, so your camera won't be in this video. Switch to its desktop first to include it.
Microphone, camera and audio
Three cards under the preview switch your inputs on and off:
- Microphone: your narration. Pick which mic from its menu.
- Camera: shows your camera in a bubble you can drag anywhere in the recording. In Area mode, the bubble records too: drag it anywhere inside the area.
- System Audio: “This Mac's audio”, for sound from apps and videos you show.
Stop and share the link
Press Stop on the recording pill. A card appears with the video’s title, “Copy Link” and “Open in Browser”, while the upload finishes: “Preparing upload…”, then a progress bar, then “Ready to share · transcript ready”.
With “Copy a share link when I stop recording” on (the default), the link is on your clipboard the moment you press Stop, so you can paste it straight away. The page it opens shows the video, and the transcript if you leave that on.
Lumora pilot walkthrough
Transcript
This is a walkthrough of the Lumora pilot plan.
Slide two is the scope: twelve seats for your support team, starting next month.
Slide three is the timeline. We set up the workspace first, then check in with you two weeks in.
If the pilot goes well, slide four is the rollout to all forty agents.
Pricing for the pilot is in the revised proposal, which you'll have by Thursday.
Any questions, reply to this message and I'll walk you through it live.

Transcripts, titles and stopping a link
Every recording is saved on your Mac and listed in “My Videos” (menu bar → “My Videos”). From there you can “Show Transcript”, “Copy Transcript”, switch “Show Transcript on Share Page” per video, or choose “Stop Sharing…” so the link stops working.
